Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 “Possibly the best Terre a Terra Cab yet. Oak is omnipresent, but the fruit is well up for it. A firm, richly textured, right bank-esque full tilt red with classic cedar varietal character, coffeed oak and thick-cut tannins. Large, powerful and very ripe ala St-Emilion, but has…

DetailsTerre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Shiraz 2016 “Another flattering and ambitious red from Xavier Bizot and Lucy Croser. From the Crayères vineyard in Wrattonbully, there’s 12% Cab Franc in the mix, the blend spending 10 months in 48% new small oak, then a further 18 months in large, older foudre. Toasty oak, but the luscious…
DetailsDAOSA Blanc de Blancs 2015 “Medium to light yellow colour, with a fresh bouquet which showcases coconut, nougat and cashew nut, indicating barrel use, plus lemon curd.

DetailsTerre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2017 “Fermented in 600L French oak demi-muids, then on full solids in the same for 8m. Sauvignon Blanc re-thought. Conveys vanilla creme and almond paste, elements of herb remain, subtle – the considered hand of Xavier Bizot ironically writ large here. The time on full lees is evident…
DetailsA few weeks ago we had visit from the esteemed wine writer Huon Hooke. Whilst here, Huon tasted our 2012 Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, which is looking perfectly balanced at seven years of age. Our Sauvignon Blanc is made with the intention for it to be aged. This is a style that many Australian drinkers…
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. Graphite, clove, blackcurrant, hay and gum leaf characters sweep confidently through the palate, choc-pencil notes helping it all along. The finish…
