Tasting Notes
This is so many shades of wonderful I don't know where to begin!! The nose: pretty, floral notes over green apple and aromatic stone fruit, with an enticing mineral edge. The palate: Incredible fruit intensity with a brilliant acidity. Juicy green apple tones layered with a beautiful chalky/flinty mouthfeel and that trademark Crawford River minerality. Unbelievable crisp, dry finish. If you are a Riesling lover (as I am), then you cannot afford to miss this one. Excellent cellaring potential too - if you can wait that long! - Felix G
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.
