DetailsTerre à Terre Wrattonbully Red 2016 “The texture is soft, the oak creamy, the impression seamless. This is a red wine to settle in and relax with. It’s classically styled, you might even say.

DetailsTerre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2012 “Medium-full yellow colour and a nicely matured bouquet and flavour. It’s still very fresh but is mellow and complex, with lovely clean, ripe fruit character – not of the green or grassy style – and it’s yet to develop significant toast.

DetailsTerre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 “With a 9 per cent splash of cabernet franc, the flagship red excites with pure Belgian chocolate, cassis, regional menthol, licorice and rose petals.
