About This Wine
The Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Reserve is produced every year by blending the best of the vintage from our unique Crayères vineyard.
The Crayères Vineyard Reserve is the classic Australian blend, a Cabernet (Sauvignon and Franc) and Shiraz assemblage, following the long-established tradition of Cabernet Shiraz fine Australian wines. It is made every year using the best parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc from our estate vineyard. The extraordinarily warm and dry 2016 vintage is the third release of this wine. It is a supremely elegant wine, with red and black berry fruit characters, and a perfect length.
A blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Shiraz and 16% Cabernet Franc aged in French oak (84% new) for 11 months and then in a 5 year old foudre for 17 months. Deep black dark red core with a dark red hue. Intense red and black currant aromas have a vanillin cedar edge with notions of mulberry, fresh herbs, dusty earth and spice also evident. Quite full in body the palate is decorated with rich blackcurrant and liquorice fruits which are backed by a firm, sturdy tannin structure. Elements of vanillin cedar, dusty tobacco, dried herbs and spice sit underneath. Finishes with good freshness and a long, rich yet robust aftertaste. Cellar 5-6 years. Alc. 14.5%
