"There is a reason why this wine is consistently amongst, if not the best Sauvignon Blanc in Australia, its consistency is metronomic and its impact and enjoyment unsurpassed for the aromatic white variety.
The 2023 release seems a little richer and varietal than previous years with more openness of passionfruit and boysenberry fruit on the nose; the palate that unfurls layer after layer of interest with fruit generous but wonderfully held by tantalisingly pure acidity. There is a gently creamy texture that meets savoury influence on the mid palate. The finish has such great texture with time on lees giving weight and depth to pristine fruit. A revelation." - WineReviewer.com.au
"Many old-world techniques are used to bring out characters that put the full range of Sauvignon Blanc’s personality and complexity on display. Some whole bunch pressing with fermentation in large oak foudres and demi-muids. Ageing on lees has introduced deeper complexities and layering. A distinct linear minerality threads deep through the palate which reveals intense racy tightly framed fruit characters. Love it." - Wine Pilot
"Savoury and layered, varietal nuance of gooseberry and passionfruit husk with vanilla and baked goods tinges from oak. Brazil nut, fresh straw bale, flint, lemon citrus. Restrained power with intensity and tightly wound textural flesh. Achingly dry with balanced flesh and flow. An excellent Sauvignon Blanc." - Vino Notebook
"I’ve said it before and I’m happy to say it again, this Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is the best in Australia. The considered wine making, detail and interest all ensure it rises to the top with ease.
Coming from a cool vintage (cooler than the 2011), the creamy texture and layered complexity are the heros. Lemon grass, lemon juice and passionfruit curd muse and deliver a wine with a delightful presence and grip. Such a food friendly delight, there is a ruby grapefruit tang that adds energy on close. And that length! Another excellent release." - QWine
