Terre a Terre 2013 (Wrattonbully, South Australia)
I visited Terre a Terre last year so good to see this 100% Sauvignon perform well. Wrattonbully may be better known for its reds but limestone bedrock and an ambitious Bordeaux hand at the tiller make for a very zippy, lemon zesty white with a pure core of fruit and bright beam of acidity. Oak (6 months in Vosges 225l/demi-muids) is lightly worn – an attractive dusting of cedar spice. 12% 17/20
