Description / Reviews
"This is the seventeenth release of our Sauvignon Blanc from our close-spaced Crayères Vineyard. This vintage, the wine was fermented partly in stainless steel and partly in old oak barrels. The 2025 vintage is a very savoury and dry example of our Sauvignon Blanc, with a good backbone of acidity. It also displays ripe fruit flavours, a velvety texture and, as always for this wine, a great persistence of flavours. It will benefit from bottle ageing, gaining some complexity with age." - Winemaker Notes
"A warm and dry vintage, giving optimal ripeness and bright tropical-fruit flavours of papaya, mango skin and lemon curd. Oak fermentation complements the luscious fruit, focusing the tight acidity to draw out a long finish of lemongrass and ginger. Some strands of silken phenolic texture widen across the palate to create a wine both vibrant and immensely satisfying." - 95 Points, Shanteh Wale, Halliday Wine Companion
"The 2025 Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc comes from a hot, dry year in South Australia, and the wine has fruit personality and intensity thanks to that. However, beyond that, the wine is restrained and chalky, with loads of spices and weight of flavour. This is excellent. 13.9% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. The 2025 Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc was harvested between March 3 and 5, 2025. The fruit was partly whole-bunch pressed, with 62% fermented in French oak demi-muids and 38% fermented in tank at cold temperatures. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation and was bottled in December 2025." - 93 Points, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
