Terre à Terre Crayeres Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Author: Jeni Port
“Classic green herb and pea shoot aromas mix with honeysuckle, lemongrass and citrus. And is that ginger hiding in the background? Yes, it is. The extra, discreet lick of fresh-cut ginger adds a little something special to this sophisticated young Sauvignon Blanc. In keeping with the Terre à Terre style, the juice was fermented in seasoned 600 litre French oak demi-muids and left on lees for eight months. The result is a complex array of flavours, not to mention a middle palate textural warmth. Bright acid entry with apple, grapefruit, dill, sage, herbals and green tea usher in a well-judged Sauvignon enhanced by ginger, spice notes and a touch of oak-derived nougat nuttiness. Ample in flavour, bright in acidity and silky in texture.”
