Saint Laurent is an exciting premium red varietal grown widely in Austria. It produces dark skinned berries with smooth velvety tannins. Genetically it is thought to be a ‘wild cousin’ of Pinot Noir.
Often thought of as a ‘gentle giant’ – this is because the wine is big in colour but on the palate it’s gentle with beautiful smooth, silky tannins. Cropping levels are kept low to ensure the fruit is concentrated. Varietal flavours are accumulated through hang time on the vines well into Autumn.
Winery Notes (2018 Vintage)
"Hand-harvested and fermented with indigenous yeast, then matured in French oak for 11 months (25% new), this wine then undergoes natural malolactic fermentation.
Sweetly fruited and inviting on the nose with Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet and toasted almond character. It is beautifully rounded on the palate, delivering bright fruit intensity and polished tannins."
91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2019 (2018 Vintage)
"The wine is sweetly fruited and inviting on the nose showing Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet, toasted almond and olive characters with a touch of spicy complexity. It is succulent and beautifully rounded on the palate, delivering bright fruit intensity and supple mouthfeel, elegantly framed by fine, polished tannins. At its best: now to 2023."

Terrace Edge is a (Chapman) family owned and (whole family) operated organic vineyard and olive grove overlooking the Waipara River from its south bank.
Like so many other Waipara Valley growers, grape types have been matched to growing locations that will bring out the best in its qualities, with the 'healthy-soil-first' ethos framing the whole enterprise.
Besides wine, Terrace Edge also grows olives in groves planted by the Chapmans when they converted their property from a sheep farm.
Visitors can book wine and food experiences at the Terrace Edge Tasting Room and take part in a masterclass of wine and food pairing.
