Tasting Notes
Bright and fresh with an undeniable, macerated raspberry and fresh blueberry overtone. There is purity and integrity with plenty of fruit flavour and soft tannins. Juicy, cherry flavours and bright acidity make this wine a delicious drink with a medium frame and terrific length and balance. - Winery Note
Crawford River is a pioneering winery in Victoria’s far south-west Henty region, established in 1975 by John and Catherine Thomson. At a time when the area was little known for viticulture, the Thomsons identified its potential for cool-climate wines, planting vineyards on ancient basalt soils over limestone. Their foresight helped put Henty on the map as a source of some of Australia’s most distinctive and age-worthy whites.
The estate is best known for Riesling, which has become a benchmark for Australia: intensely aromatic, structured, and capable of decades of graceful ageing. Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon also form part of the range, all grown with an emphasis on sustainable farming and meticulous vineyard care.
Today the estate is guided by second-generation winemaker Belinda Thomson, who continues the family’s focus on purity, longevity and site expression. Under her stewardship, Crawford River remains one of Australia’s most respected producers, delivering wines of clarity, balance and remarkable regional character.
