Apis Florea 2019

Made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes grown at the Crawford River Vineyard, this wine is made with minimal intervention. Whole clusters were pressed, and the juice settled overnight in tank to remove heavy solids. Subsequently racked to old, French Oak barrels for fermentation, the wine spent around 16 months on lees. Carefully monitored throughout production, the wine in barrel was not topped for a significant period, with the hope that an amount of ullage and time would create positive, … more

Apis Henty Pinot Gris 2021

Side project of Crawford River winemaker Belinda Thomson, Apis uses fruit grown in the Henty region to allow Belinda a creative outlet outside her usual job description. The skin contact Gris sits somewhere between orange and rosé, fragrant stone fruit and floral nuances and a wispy layer of varietal Pinot Gris spice.Silky in texture, full of freshness, and oh so good.

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Winery Notes - "As usual, each individual block was separately hand picked and fermented in open fermenters. De-stemmed only (no crush). 5-8 day cold soak was carried out prior to fermentation. The wines were then pressed to tank and settled prior to being racked to barrel for malolactic fermentation. 25% of this Cabernet was left in the fermentation vessel and sealed for a period of extended maceration of 8 weeks prior to pressing. No additions. No added acid, not fined … more

Crawford River Nektar Riesling 2017 375ml

"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 … more

Crawford River Reserve Riesling 2015

Note: The "Reserve" is NOT just a cellar release of the Estate Riesling, it is a completely different wine only released with age. And, yet it remains insanely youthul at that.

The Reserve Riesling was first produced in 1999, and is crafted from hand selected fruit from a small section of the vineyard planted in 1975. It is not made every year and most of the production is cellared immediately after bottling, for release as an aged wine.

Crawford River Riesling 2015 - Museum Release

Producer Notes - "Lemon curd and white stone fruit are inherent throughout this wine and make for a delicious introduction. Bright, yellow citrus and orange blossom is followed by a concentrated fruit profile of nectarine, macadamia nut and hints of honeydew melon. There is fruit density here, together with layers of complexity and texture, enhanced by its years in bottle. The generosity of the vintage is evident in the fruit profile, with the vineyard site aiding a seamless acid core … more

Crawford River Riesling 2021

Winery Notes - "This wine is a wonderful example of a pretty, cool year on our site. Lemon blossom and white, perfumed floral notes lead the way, with white nectarine and yellow citrus close behind. Limestone mineral elements lay the groundwork for a complex, textured palate which is structured and poised. The balanced line of slightly saline acidity runs throughout, lending shape to the long finish. A pleasure to drink."

"Both crushed and whole-bunch fruit, pressed, fermented in stainless steel … more

Crawford River Rosé 2021

A wonderful Cabernet based wine, with the fruit hand-picked specifically to be used in rosé, before soaking on skins for 9 hours and pressing. It's a textural rosé loaded with ginger spice and bright red floral character, excellent to pair with food that is spicy and flavoursome.

Crawford River Serendipitous Riesling 2010 [Museum Release 2020]

Winemakers Notes "In some years, the vineyard can produce some unexpected surprises and 2010 created one in particular. Upon deciding that a part of one of our Riesling blocks had reached optimum flavour-sugar balance, as is the norm, we picked it. We were ecstatic to taste the luscious, sweet-fruit palate of the free run juice, although more than a little surprised to discover its potential alcohol level! We decided to optimise what the vineyard had given us and make a … more
