Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Author: Ray Jordan | Wine Pilot
A marvellous example of a late-picked style, this Sauvignon Blanc comes from a vineyard on the terra rossa soil of Wrattonbully. About 35% of the late harvest fruit was shrivelled, with just a 5% botrytis influence, but it all comes together beautifully. After fermentation, the wine has obvious sweetness, yet there is a minerally, tight, crisp restraint that provides balance and avoids the cloying sweetness sometimes found in this style. The structure is reminiscent of late harvest wines from Bordeaux, showing another side to Sauvignon Blanc as a sweet wine varietal with a minerally citrus edge.
