Tasting Notes
One of my favourites from the Crayeres vineyard. This opens with balanced red and dark fruits: red and black cherry, red and blue plum with some ground coffee and soft earth sprinkled on top. The Shiraz fills out the infamous “donut” palate of the Cabernet and creates a smooth, but firm texture. Drinking well now but can easily age the rest of the decade. - Aaron C
Terre à Terre makes still wines from our single Crayères vineyard spanning across eight hectares of vineyard in the very unique, cool climate wine region of Wrattonbully. We have been refining our winemaking and blending approach since 2008 of the Crayères Vineyard fruit, culminating with the existing range of white and red wines.
The Crayères vineyard is named for its positioning across ancient limestone caves, with geology dating back 35-million-years old, covered in rich terra rossa soil. The Wrattonbully GI is located just 20km north of Coonawarra and 80km south of Padthaway.
Since 2011, we have been experimenting with winemaking styles best suited to the Crayères Vineyard to ensure we are best representing our high quality fruit and the distinctive terroir. With our whites, we make barrel aged Sauvignon Blanc giving us a textural and layered style, reminiscent of some of the best white Bordeaux but with our own Four our red wines, we grow and make ripe harvested Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, utilising Shiraz as a blending component with each variety giving balance and completeness- particularly inspired by the long tradition of claret blends. We use a restraint level of oak, to allow terroir and varietal character to shine through.
