Crawford River is an iconic producer of Riesling from the ultra cool climate region of Henty in Victoria, with the region not yet classified as a GI in 1975 when the Thomson family first planted vinyeards.
The 2012 is the first Crawford River wine that i have tried and i was amazed by the structure, complexity and general finesse, this is a wine that shows more than varietal expression, with climatic and site influences even more pronounced.
The nose balances tropical undertones with aniseed aromas, the palate is youthful and bound by a wonderful line of acidity that helps shape the layered structure that plays tropical fruits and subtle fennel characters against one another. The finish is long and well balanced, i can't wait to see where this wine goes in the future.
