Crawford River Riesling 2023

97 POINTS! - HUON HOOKE

 

**Limited wine. Only 3 per customer** 


"A haunting fresh fragrance of lemon-peel, lime juice and high-toned estery floral notes. The wine is tremendously intense and rich in the mouth, lifted in the core by a tickle of sweetness which niftily counteracts the quite high acidity. There is a firmness that stops just short of austerity. Long, long carry. This is seriously impressive young Riesling, brilliant now but promising much for the future."Huon Hooke

 

"Citrus is the dominant feature throughout this wine, in many guises. Soft, lemon curd elements on the nose, with edges of Kaffir lime and pink grapefruit to closely follow. Fresh lime zest and pretty talc are supported by white florals and pith-like textural quality. The palate is complex, long and even, with the chalky, supple texture lending integrity and wonderful length. Crawford River through and through, with many years ahead of it. Fresh, lively acidity and balanced weight is key to its drinkability now and longevity into the future

The Crawford River vineyard is situated in far south west Victoria, approximately 50kms inland from the wild Southern Ocean.  Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon are the two main varieties in the vineyard, with smaller plantings of Cabernet Franc, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc." - Crawford River
