World Wine – “This is yet another exceptional release of a wine that has redefined the definition of world class Sauvignon Blanc in this country. The fruit is undeniably good, and the winemaking the differentiator. A light yellow in colour, slight tropical and herbaceous tones with some grassy and savoury nuance on the nose. There is a lovely density to the wine with apricot and a faint honeyed notes; citrus gives texture and contrast. There is such wonderful length and persistence to finish.” 96 points Patrick Eckel, winereviewer.com.au
Wine Spectator – “There is a beautiful tension and balance to this wine from start to finish. Mid straw in colour, it opens with precise and pure aromas of citrus, floral, cinnamon oak and just ripe passionfruit beautifully offset by savoury cashew barrel ferment complexity. In the mouth, it’s taut, the fruit complex but still reserved and in its shell, only building with time in the glass. Fruit focus is sublime as is the length and balance. Not yet ready to drink but you can already see that this is a standout release for what is consistently an exceptional wine.” 96 points Angus Hughson, Winepilot.com
About This Wine
An old-world style of Sauvignon Blanc from Wrattonbully. The top-rated Sauvignon Blanc in the Halliday Wine Companion.
The 2020 Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is the twelfth release of this Australian classic. The fruit is hand-harvested from our close-spaced Crayères Vineyard and whole bunch pressed before being fermented in large old oak demi-muids (600L). The very low yields of the 2020 vintage explain the concentration and persistence of flavours, improved by the oak texture. A unique expression of Sauvignon Blanc, proof that it is a noble grape variety.
