This wine is crafted from 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Shiraz, and 20% Cabernet Franc, aged for six months in 75% new French oak before maturing in a five-year-old foudre for 15 months. While it has a prominent oak influence, the fruit is robust and generous, suggesting it will soon achieve a harmonious balance of flavors.

Terre à Terre is a family-owned wine estate in South Australia, with vineyards in the cool-climate regions of Piccadilly Valley and Wrattonbully. Founded by Xavier Bizot and Lucy Croser in 2004, the estate focuses on producing high-quality grapes from the same sites each year, using a blend of French and Australian winemaking techniques. In addition to their still and sparkling wines, they also craft traditional method sparkling wines under the name DAOSA from their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards in Piccadilly Valley.
