Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2019 “Nose of honeysuckle. The palate has a honey lemon note with some ginger spice adding layers. A textured wine, almost oily to begin the palate but the pithy acid texture cleans it and finishes long and in check.” Stuart Knox, therealreview.com
DetailsTerre à Terre Sauvignon Blanc 2018 “Deeper yellow-gold colour. The nose has lifted smoke and honey lemon drops. A textured style, with oak influence shining through but not intruding. Pink grapefruit and candied blood orange enter the palate with some smoky notes and a lovely long finish.” Stuart Knox, therealreview.com
DetailsDown to Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2019 “Wrattonbully Sauvignon Blanc from a proven performer. Fennel and candied fruits. Sure there’s passionfruit/gooseberry-like flavours with edges of dried herbs but the fennel overtones are strong and so too the linger of candied fruits. It’s a textural Sauvignon Blanc and a good one.” Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, March…
DetailsTerre à Terre Summertown Vineyard Reserve Pinot Noir 2018 “From the Summertown Vineyard, planted in 1987, in the Adelaide Hills. As they say in the classics, I dips my lids to this one. The cherry-plum fruit flavours are both macerated and fresh at once, the texture is creamy and the finish spreads and runs particularly…
DetailsDown to Earth Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 “Delightfully fruited and lifted, the bouquet shows dark plum, blackcurrant, vanilla, toasty oak, dried herb and olive characters. The palate delivers excellent weight and roundness, beautifully supported by fine texture and chalky tannins, finishing persistent and sturdy. This is bold and gutsy with splendid power and length. At its…
DetailsTerre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2017 “Hand-picked, the juice cold-settled for 2 months (others might use 4 days or less), fermented in large old demi-muids before 8 months maturation. It’s way left of centre, but has undoubted complexity and personality. I enjoy it.” 95 points James Halliday Published 01 December 2019
DetailsAcclaimed journalist Huon Hooke published a round up of his recent discoveries in the world of rosé this week. Here he talks about his criteria when choosing a great rosé: “What do I look for? Drinkability, certainly – in other words, a wine that appeals to the palate and is not too sweet or too…
DetailsTerre à Terre Piccadilly Rosé 2019 “Bright, light fresh pink colour, with a cashew and coconutty edge to the aroma, suggesting barrel fermentation, while the palate is softly full, rounded and properly dry, the finish slightly textured, thanks to tannins, and resonating for a long time. A charming and generously-flavoured rosé with a lot of…
DetailsTerre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Reserve 2016 “Retaining plenty of vibrant colour. Redolent red berries, thyme and aniseed and fine-grained, quality oak. Finely-boned and elegant; red and black berries with a choc-mint core, long and seamless. A tease of tapenade adds further savoury charm. Time in the cellar will reap huge rewards” 95 points Nick…
DetailsTerre à Terre Wrattonbully Red 2016 “A blend of Cabernet Franc 46% and Shiraz 42% from the Crayères Vineyard in Wrattonbully plus 12% Merlot from Summertown. Adelaide Hills Merlot eh? Now there’s an outlier. Spends 10 months in 40% new oak, then 18 months in large older oak. It’s such a substantial wine. Lots of…
