// Cabernet Franc (91%) and Shiraz (9%)
"Usually restricted to the role of blending partner, but Cabernet Franc can be so much more. Terre à Terre takes the grape to the next level, producing one serious – and seriously elegant – wine that is pure, fine-boned and oh so engaging. The scent of lifted florals, rose, pepper, spice and a big bouquet of red fruits and plums sets the scene. Arrives harmonious and even tannin-ed throughout – nary a hair out of place – with a natural brightness of acidity against a rich palette of fruit flavour and spice. The addition of 9% Shiraz brings added tone and weight to Cabernet Franc, while not overpowering it. Wrattonbully, which shares a border with Coonawarra, certainly has a way with Cabernet Franc." - 95 Points, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion
"A sappy, succulent red of pitch-perfect medium weight, snappy with its tart and brisk red berry fruitiness, trimmed with stony, pulverised stone tannins, lifted with blood orange acidity and dashed with dried herbs, light hazelnut savouriness and a sprinkle of black pepper. Curiously, there’s almost a pinosity to the wine, lighter weight, poised, length and svelte as it rolls around the palate. An impressive and delicious red wine.” - 94 Points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
