DetailsSome fine old wrattonbully action here from the Terre à Terre label of Lucy Croser and Xavier Bizot. They say keep it in the family and that’s what the Croser’s have done; shared the vineyard space, as this fruit hails from a next door plot to Brian Crosers famed Whalebone vineyard. It’s close planted, hand…
DetailsA good early drinking sav blanc that is drinking beautifully already and will get even better if you can hold it for a year or two. Limited vintage showing great intensity of flavours.

DetailsPale straw-bronze; a very classy wine; the grapes were fully ripe at the end of March with only 20% showing any botrytis; harvest took place on 28 April, with half the grapes still uninfected, 30% shrivelled and 20% fully botrytised. The fermentation was stopped at the right moment. Author: James Halliday Source: Australian Wine Companion…

DetailsSourced from the Hoopers vineyard – which is adjoining the Terre à Terre vineyard in Wrattonbully – the two rows of Pinot Gris that produced this fruit were historically grown with dry Pinot Gris production in mind. Xavier (Bizot, Terre à Terre winemaker) however saw the potential to make an Alsatian style botrytis Pinot Gris…
DetailsA very aromatic and pretty style from Wrattonbully in South Australia for those looking for a little more elegance in their dessert wines. Sweet pear, honey and blossom give way to a silky smooth palate finishing long and elegant. The kind of dessert wine that demands a second glass. Author: Angus Hughson Source: The Australian…
DetailsDeepish red, purple tints. Eucalyptus/mint plus nut, spice and subtle oaky aromas, not yet fully settled, but clean and good quality. Same in mouth, where it has a load of tannin and tight grip on the finish. Needs food or time. A seriously structured wine that would be transformed by food, I suspect. Author: Huon…
