Brief history of Terroir Selections

Terroir Selections was created in 2006 by Xavier Bizot and Lucy Croser with the aim of importing a personal selection of great French fine wines to Australia for sale in both top restaurants and wine retailers Australia wide. All our producers are vignerons families and who own (some for more than a century) and manage the vineyards which produce the fruit for their wines. They all have an acute vision of how their prized and praised terroir should be managed and do not compromise on the quality of their wines.

In 2008, Terroir Selections started distributing the first wine from Terre à Terre, a unique barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc (“Fumé Blanc” style) from Xavier and Lucy's close-spaced vineyard in Wrattonbully, South Australia.

Tunkalilla Vineyard arrives

Tunkalilla Vineyard RieslingWe are very pleased to announce the arrival of the first two vintages (2008 & 2009) of Tunkalilla Vineyard Riesling into Australia. 

Produced by Brian and Ann Croser, Tunkalilla Vineyard lies in the Eola Hills of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Their focus is on Riesling, and these first two releases show that they appear to be on the right track. Lovely fine acid driven wines, with a hint of residual sugar to balance.

We will be showing these wines to the trade in the coming weeks, so contact us if you are interested.
