Author: Patrick Eckel Source: winereviewer.com.au Review Date: June 4 2018 Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Terre a Terre produce some of the most interesting Sauvignon Blanc’s in South Australia. The wines maintain the purity of tropical fruits, but time on lees and in barrel gives texture and the most subtle of savoury flare. The wine is medium bodied […]

Author: Campbell Mattinson Source: winefront.com.au Review Date: June 1 2018 Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Another pristine release from Terre A Terre. Straight lines of flavour. Purity, neatness and length. Textural but only just. Aromatic but not OTT. You’d have to say that this gets pretty much everything right, in a restrained length-is-key style. Reckon in 6-12 months […]

Author: Huon Hooke Source: therealreview.com Date: 7 May 2018 Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc 2015 Tasted on a preserving system in Vagabond restaurant, Buckingham Palace Rd, Victoria, London. This has matured nicely since first released. The bouquet is a touch subdued but clean and attractive, while the wine really scores on the palate, where it’s soft and round, flavoursome […]

Author: Andrew Graham Source: ozwinereview.com.au Date: May 6, 2018 Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2015 Great to see genuine Cabernet Franc taken seriously.

Author: Tony Love Source: The Advertiser Date: 28 February 2018 Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2016 From the Crayeres vineyard towards the south of the region, this is Xavier Bizot’s take on sauvignon blanc — but not as we mostly know it, a good portion fermented and matured in larger oak vats, crafted patiently, bottle rested, and […]

Author: Jancis Robinson Source: JancisRobinson.com Date: 25 February 2018 Terre à Terre Rouge 2015 No particular varietal signature on the nose – rather smudgier and less refreshing than the 2014 with which I was so taken. A very pleasing blend on the palate but there is something just slightly less than fully ripe on the nose and […]

Author: Jancis Robinson Source: JancisRobinson.com Date: 25 February 2018 Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Reserve 2014 Again, looks slightly cloudy. Really nicely matured and complex on the nose. Both round and refreshing although a little chewy on the end. Cool and fresh and tastes as though it would be very pleasing with food. Halfway between South […]
