Crawford River Young Vines Riesling 2018

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.

"Blossom and citrus notes abound in this wine, both on the nose and the palate. These elements, coupled with stone-like, mineral overtones and grapefruit pith makes for a delicious, complex mouthful. The time on lees helps create a textural palate and lively acidity aids length and balance." - Belinda Thomson, Winemaker.

"Sorta young vines, with plantings from 2014 and 2000 used for this wine. Crawford River should be on any riesling lovers radar, though I suspect it already is well and truly.

All the florals, all the citrus fruits, flinty, tangy, pithy and pristine. It shows great velocity through the palate, pinpoint accuracy too, zestiness, a mouth-puckering and refreshing finish. It's summery as it is elegant and unevolved, a svelte, whooshing thrust of riesling with fine detail in tow. Deliciousness is a by-word. No brainer for anyone who loves lively, energetic, refreshing white wines, with a touch of class." 94 points, Mike Bennie, Winefront
