Crawford River 'Beta' 2017

Approx 50/50 Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon.

Wine of The Week - Oct 28 2020. The Real Review, Huon Hooke

From a special section within the Crawford River site that contains fossilised sea shells in chalky limestone, below an ironstone rich topsoil.

"An open and expressive fruit profile. Starting fine with citrus notes moving into grapefruit, white stone fruit and green melon. Underlying this fruit is a wave of savoury characters. The hallmark Crawford River chalk is here alongside delicate almond, stone-like … more

Crawford River Cabernet Franc 2018

"Bright, aromatic notes of raspberries and macerated cherries leap from the glass in this delicious release. These elements are immediately backed up by an amalgam of baking spices and gentle phenolic nuances, collectively creating a harmonious palate with seamless structure and fragrance. The wine aged for 12 months in pre-used barriques, providing subtle oak characters which further enhance the shape of this delicious, medium bodied wine. Showing effortless balance and superb texture, the natural acidity helps create a soft finish, … more

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 [Museum Release]

Re-released from the Crawford Cellar in July 2020.

Winery Notes - 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc & Merlot - 2 years in French Oak.

We are delighted with the grace with which this wine is ageing. A year of great intensity of flavour throughout the vineyard, the wine has softened, yet retained a freshness that belies its 15 years of age. Dense black fruit notes introduce the wine, together with hints of cherry, our hallmark liquorice, spice and bay … more

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Another stunning release from Belinda Thomson @ Crawford River.

"Mulberry and Morello cherry make up most of the fruit spectrum here, which is overlayed with baking spice and delicate anise notes together with rich, baked blood plums. The wine shows significant palate weight, yet has a lightness of touch throughout, with silky but firm tannins supporting the aromatic, medium bodied frame. The judicious use of 100% French oak goes hand in hand with this frame, enhancing layers of spice, liquorice … more

Crawford River Cabernets 2017

75% Cabernet Sauvignon / 25% Cabernet Franc. Screwcap.

Juicy Mulberry and crunchy cherry are the frontrunners here, together with underlying cassia bark and spice. Seamless integration of soft tannin and fruit, with a taut line of acidity pulling it all together beautifully. While the underlying savoury elements typical of our vineyard shine, they are encased in a medium frame with ripe fruit underpinning the lingering palate. Absolutely delicious drinking. - Winemakers Notes

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 Riesling 2013 - Museum Release

Re-Released in 2020. (Note: This is not the Reserve Riesling)

Like a large trout that has learned to be careful, this wine is keeping much hidden from passers by - you have to observe carefully and with experience to find what it has to offer now and in the future: a minerally precision, perfect balance, great length, and fine lime and green apple fruits with a core of acidity that will sustain it for a minimum of 20 years. 96/100. … more

Crawford River Riesling 2019

Winery Notes - "The fruit for this wine is sourced from the original Crawford River vines, planted in the mid 1970's. The site was selected by the Thomson's for its cool climate, long growing season and unique soil structure. The vineyard lies at the alluvial edge of a volcanic lava flow. Its roots are in a complex, mineral-rich soil base. Gravelly, friable, basalt loam overlays permeable clay which in turn lies above a limestone base created by an ancient, risen … more

Crawford River Serendipitous Riesling 2010 [Museum release in November 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

Crawford River Young Vines Riesling 2019

The vines for this wine were planted in 2000 and this has always been produced separately to the old block which was planted in 1975. The Young Vines always offers incredable value and sits comfortably amoungst the great Riesling of Australia.

"Delicious orange citrus notes and a stone-like mineral element are a terrific introduction here. These qualities proceed to the palate, together with bright, red apple and a powdery talc note. The palate is crisp and clean, while maintaining the … more
