Terre à Terre is a family owned wine estate, growing and making still and sparkling wines in two cool climate regions in South Australia: the Piccadilly Valley in the Adelaide Hills and Wrattonbully on the Limestone Coast.
Xavier Bizot and Lucy Croser both grew up surrounded by passionate winemaking families. In 2005 they launched their boutique wine import business, Terroir Selections. Together they unearthed small, terroir-led, family wine domaines from Europe for importation to Australia. Inspired by the wines they discovered, they purchased a special piece of land in Wrattonbully, South Australia and planted their first vineyard.
From the beginning, the vision for Terre à Terre has been to grow the very best quality grapes, from the same vineyard sites every year, and then vinify them using French and Australian wine practices.
In addition to Terre à Terre, the couple also grow and make traditional method sparkling wine under the name DAOSA (Dedicated Artisans of South Australia) from their sparkling Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards in the Piccadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills.

2016 Domaine Comte Abbatucci ‘Gris Imperial’ Rosé Corsica, France 80
Wine from Corsica?! Where even is that?! It’s a tiny island in the Mediterranean, classified as one of the 18 regions of France. It once had bountiful vines, all native and unique, then they got wiped out through neglect and abandonment. Almost. Vigneron Jean-Charles Abbatucci brought back Corsica’s indigenous grape varieties back from the brink of extinction. The Domaine Comte Abbatucci Collection wines all come from a single parcel planted by Antoine Abbatucci in the early 1960’s. At the time, Antoine (Jean-Charles’s father) was president of the Chamber of Agriculture in Corsica, and noticed that the subsistence farming lifestyle of the mountain villages was rapidly disappearing as the villagers left the countryside for the coastal towns. Several villages farmed old vines of indigenous varietals that were left abandoned as the population left. To save these varietals from extinction, Abbatucci took cuttings of each threatened vineyard he came across and planted the cuttings on his estate near Ajaccio, in a single plot of granite soil. By 1962, eighteen different varieties had been planted. Thanks Jean-Charles Abbatucci! Thanks to you now we can all enjoy this bright, delicate, perfumed rosé made entirely from 90% Sciaccarellu and 10% Barbarossa. I’m so grape-ful.

This is a limited run of younger vine Cabernet Franc from the great Mount Mary vineyard made by one of my winemaking heroes, Sam Middleton.
