Terre à Terre Crayères Vineyard Late Harvest 2024

This late harvest style from the Crayeres Vineyard in Wrattonbully is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation was ceased, and the wine then left on lees for three months, to ensure some remaining sweetness – 124 grams/litre. The original grapes were 60% late harvested, 35% shrivelled and the final 5% with Botrytis. 1,400 six-packs were made. A pale straw colour, the nose offers floral notes with pineapple and lemon curd, along with hints of dried herbs, honeycomb and glacéd mandarin. Quite a pleasingly subtle style with fine balance and a flick of acidity with an extremely good finish and gentle sweetness runs the length. This will surely provide pleasure for at least the next 10 to 12 years.
