Not one, but two of our wines have appeared in James Halliday’s top South Australian wines for 2013.
2012 Down to Earth Wrattonbully Sauvignon Blanc
Pale straw-green; an intense, focused wine fermented in French oak barrels of various sizes and ages, purely a means of investing the wine with its extra structural dimensions and in no way inhibiting the display of lychee and ripe citrus/pineapple fruit. Top tier stuff.
96 points
2009 Terre à Terre Wrattonbully Cabernet Sauvignon
Light 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.
94 points
