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. 3 CONTENTS 5 Sparkling Wines 6 White Wines 7 Rosé Wines 8 Red Wines 10 Fortified & Dessert 11 Cocktails 13 Tequila 14 Vodka 16 Bourbon 16 Rum 16 Aperitif 17 Gin 17 Whisky 18 Armagnac 19 Cognac 20 Digestifs 20 Fortifieds Bio-dynamic / Organic 4 SPARKLING WINES VINTAGE GLS BTL 2019 Pete’s Pure Prosecco Sunraysia, NSW 8 35 NV The Lane Vineyard ‘Lois’ Blanc de Blancs Adelaide Hills, SA 9 42 NV Fox Creek ‘Vixen’ Sparkling Shiraz McLaren Vale, SA 10 46 2018 Alasia Moscato d’Asti Piedmont, Italy 10 46 NV Deviation Road ‘Altair’ Brut Rose Sparkling Adelaide Hills, SA 12 54 NV Daosa Natural Reserve Adelaide Hills, SA 14 62 2013 Mordrelle Blanc de Blancs, Adelaide Hills, SA 62 NV Bollinger Special Cuvée Champagne (120 mls) Champagne, France 20 110 NV Bollinger Rosé Champagne Champagne, France 160 5 WHITE WINES VINTAGE GLS BTL 2019 Terre à Terre Down to Earth Sauvignon Blanc Adelaide Hills SA 9 42 2019 Shaw + Smith Sauvignon Blanc Adelaide Hills, SA 12 54 2017 Merlin Cherrier Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc Sancerre, France 14 62 2019 Paracombe Pinot Gris Adelaide Hills, SA 9 42 2019 Corte Giara Pinot Grigio Veneto, Italy 10 46 2019 La Prova Pinot Grigio Adelaide Hills, SA 10 46 2019 Wilson ‘Watervale’ Riesling Clare Valley, SA 10 46 2019 Rieslingfreak ‘no.2’ Polish Hill River Riesling Clare Valley, SA 14 62 2014 Mesh ‘Classic Release’ Riesling Eden Valley, SA 16 72 2017 Golding ‘The Exchange’ Chardonnay Adelaide Hills, SA 10 46 2018 Sanglier Chardonnay Adelaide Hills, SA 14 62 2018 Christophe et Fils, Chablis Chablis, France 18 84 6 VINTAGE GLS BTL 2018 Tolpuddle Chardonnay Coal River Valley, TAS 22 100 2017 Domaine de Chatillon Jacquère Savoie, France 9 42 2018 Benjamin Darnault Picpoul de Pinet Languedoc, France 9 42 2019 Art Wine ‘The Real Thing’ Albarino Adelaide Hills, SA 12 54 2018 Artomana Txakoliona Xarmant Txakoli Pais Basco, Spain 12 54 2016 Domaine Cornu Aligoté, Bourgogne, France 12 54 - SKIN CONTACT WHITES - White wines fermented on skins adding colour, texture & phenolics 2019 BK Ovum Pinot Gris, Adelaide Hills, SA 14 62 2018 Gentle Folk Scary Gully Chardonnay, Adelaide Hills, SA 14 62 7 ROSÉ WINES VINTAGE GLS BTL 2019 Howard Vineyard Rosé Adelaide Hills, SA 9 42 2019 Terre à Terre Piccadilly Rose, Pinot Noir/Chardonnay Adelaide 10 46 Hills SA 2018 Chateau des Bormettes Tradition Rosé Cinsault Grenache 12 54 Provence, France 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. 8 RED WINES VINTAGE GLS BTL 2017 Saint and Scholar ‘Dewy’s Dream’ Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills, SA 10 500ML 25 1L 48 2018 Terre à Terre Heysen Vineyard Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills, SA 10 46 2019 Guthrie Pinot Meunier Adelaide Hills, SA 12 54 2017 CRFT The Broderick Vineyard Pinot Noir Adelaide Hills, SA 72 2017 By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir Geelong, VIC 22 100 2017 Kaesler ‘Stonehorse’ Shiraz Barossa Valley, SA 9 500ML 25 1L 48 2018 Paxton MV Shiraz, McLaren Vale, SA 10 46 2017 Turkey Flat ‘Butcher’s Block’ Shiraz Barossa Valley, SA 10 46 2016 Murdoch Hill Syrah Adelaide Hills ,SA 12 54 2018 New Era Syrah Adelaide Hills ,SA 12 54 9 VINTAGE GLS BTL 2016 Woodstock Cabernet Sauvignon McLaren Vale, SA 10 46 2016 Terre à Terre Wrattonbully Red, Cabernet Franc & Shiraz 10 46 Wrattonbully, SA 2015 Terre à Terre Cabernet Sauvignon Wrattonbully, SA 12 54 2017 Mount Mary ‘Reflexion’ Cabernet Franc Yarra Valley, VIC 20 90 “Such a great drink” - Gary Walsh, 95 pts - couldn’t have said it better myself Mount Mary are one of the country’s most celebrated and collectable family-owned estates, but this wine is made for enjoying now.
