"Some wines just have that extra something, and this is one of those wines. It’s outstanding. The length of the finish here is for the ages. It tastes of iron, cherry, woodspice, undergrowth and cedar, red rose notes in the mix too, and it firms beautifully as it mounts its final attack. One sip and I was convinced. It’s complex, tense, and exquisitely well finished." 96 Points - Campbell Mattinson
Terre is a sloping vineyard that was planted in 2007 at 10,000 vines per hectare. The planting density results in very low natural yields of, typically, 500 grams or less per vine (i.e. Burgundy Grand Cru levels). De La Terre lies beside the Serré vineyard. The fruit fermented with 100% whole bunches for 10 days before the juice was removed from its stems. The wine then matured in hogsheads (25% new). Randall
'Planted 2007, clones 777 + 114, high-density, organic 1.78 acres across two blocks with different aspects and orientations. Lifted and savoury, with cherry cola, spice and a ferrous edge. Lighter in frame than Serré, but with plenty of detail and complexity. Amaro-like bitterness to close—a gastronomic Pinot that opens up beautifully in the glass.' Gus Pollard
