The divine mesoclimes at Crawford River lend themselves to a variety of white wine styles to rival the most auspicious Riesling growing appellations in the world. A blight of botrytis cinerea following the wetness of vintage 2011, inspired the team to fashion a bone dry genre of Riesling, from parcels of grapes affected by the illustrious Noble Rot. A delightful accord of winsome floral notes and parched mineral savouryness, in a contention of characters that's so much greater than the sum of parts.
TASTING NOTES
Light yellow green hues. Delicate orange blossom and elderflower bouquet, fresh lime marmalades over a lifted slate minerality. Guava and grapefruit flavours, botrytic hints of dried apricot, an undeniably savoury length of mace, ginger and allspice, all held together by an underlying, earthy spine. Balanced and structured, a bone dry Botrytis wine to match with the finest gourmandise.

About the Crawford River Winery
Inspired by its potential to produce superior quality grapes, John and Catherine Thomson planted their vineyard in 1975 at Crawford River, in south west Victoria, a relatively unexplored wine growing region
Crawford River is located in the Henty winegrowing region on the Upper Hotspur Road between Hotspur, on the Casterton/Heywood Road and Condah, along the Henty Highway, half way between Hamilton and Portland. The winery is less than an hour from Port Fairy, Dunkeld, Portland and Mt. Gambier in South Australia. The beautiful cellar door building added in 2000 was designed by Graeme Gunn. Visitors can drink in the glorious views of the vineyard that sweep down to grazing cattle and sheep as they sample the wines. Crawford River»
