Tasting Notes
A very elegant expression of our Nektar. A beautiful, fine line of pure citrus elements alongside the typical dried apricot and kumquat marmalade that speak of the natural botrytis present in this wine. Delicate lime flowers, together with lemon curd and subtle, pithy qualities create a divine juxtaposition between sweet and savoury notes, which elicit complexity and sophistication. The varying, unctuous qualities are underpinned by a taut line of acidity which drives the palate, creating freshness and definition, counteracting any potential for cloying on what is a fabulous, long finish. Superb now, this wine will continue to age for a number of years to come. - Winemaker 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.
