“Flashy, reductive and mineral, screaming with electricity and tension. Aromas of grapefruit, passion fruit, sea spray, struck match, lemon rind and crushed stones. The light- to medium-bodied palate is vibrant with taut, linear acidity and underlying power. Two days on skins before pressing adds structure and depth. A terroir-driven sauvignon blanc reminiscent of Pessac-Léognan.” 95/100 Ryan Montgomery, James Suckling & Top 100 Wines in Australia
La Terre “The Land”. The new name for our bespoke expression of Sauvignon Blanc, a terroir driven style in the true sense utilising the skins to provide texture, depth and individuality Hailing from the Home Block, these vines are planted with a North South orientation, with the fruit being shaded allowing for greater retention of mineral characters and natural acid. The soil consists of gravelly loam over clay and is naturally high in minerals. A superlative Sauvignon Blanc that is matured in both clay and oak. Notes of citrus, lemon pith and lemongrass that are beautifully complimented by gentle toasty oak derived characters, the finish is long with the intrinsic natural acid backbone to reveal a wine with both power, finesse and precision.
