2023 Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Cabernet Shiraz
Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) takes the lead and with it comes some firm, structural tannins – a Cabernet speciality – nicely interwoven with ripe fruit. It’s a multi-layered approach with layers of taut, firm tannins and herbaceous undergrowth and spices and fruit. Wrattonbully can’t help but bring some of its regional character to the wine – we should expect no less – and as a sister to Coonawarra it’s an earthy, peppery, Aussie bush character that speaks of the terra rossa soil and the immediate environment. Cassis, black fruits, juniper, crushed herbs and spice aromas. Springs to life on the palate in plum, blueberry and black fruits, chocolate and, in almost equal measure, herbs and spices, all the while held steady by firm, reliable tannins.
