This is another excellent sauvignon blanc from the more complex end of the pool, showing ripe tropical fruits and hints of citrus peel melding nicely with grilled nuts and savoury biscuit aromas; ripe dark-leaf herbs too. The palate’s concise and complex, really smoothly worked up in the winery; fresh and crisp to close. Brilliant. Author:…

DetailsThe third vintage of the beautiful wine is a stunner. If you want to change your perspective regarding sauvignon blanc, this is the way to do it. The winemaking includes bigger and older oak barrels with lots of hands-on detailing to develop a complex white style, a touch of flint and amazing texture in the…
DetailsExtended (2 weeks) cold maceration post ferment. 21 months in oak, 100 days (exactly) in a 4,000L foudre. Close spaced (1.5m x 1.5m) plantings. The real deal. Such attention to detail makes this wine. Real deal indeed. Lovely vibrant voilet/red colour and lighter than anything else in the lineup. Immediately more vibrant on the nose…
DetailsLight but bright crimson; a vibrantly fresh, light- to medium-bodied wine with a very particular juicy, tactile character to the palate, at least in part due to the sophisticated fermentation and oak maturation (for two years) techniques employed. Vive la difference. Author: James Halliday Source: Australian Wine Companion Review Date: Friday, August 5, 2011 Rating:…

Terre à Terre has also maintained its 5 star winery status. A very pleasing result overall. Here is the full text of the review: Has all the…
DetailsClose-planted cabernet vines planted in soil that rests on a shelf of 37 million year old limestone. This is Wrattonbully region cabernet. Decent cabernet. Plump with curranty fruit but fine and tannic through the finish. Good balance. Dusty edges. Tannin builds as it breathes. Signs of vanillin oak in the background. Would expect this to…

DetailsThis is the second cracking vintage [2010] in a row of a wine that stakes a claim to be among Australia’s best sauvignon blancs. Made from fruit grown at Wrattonbully in South Australia, it is a beautifully textured wine with more complexity than many of its cousins thanks to six months aging on lees. It…

The low vines / closed spaced Cabernet Sauvignon from Wrattonbully was harvested last week on Thursday and Friday. The fruit was ripe, as confirmed by must analysis of 13.3 Baumé and excellent pH and acidity and we already see good colour extraction in the 1-tonne fermenters after two days cold soaking. This vineyard, planted in…
