2018 Crawford River Reserve Riesling

The fruit for this wine is sourced from the original Crawford River vines, planted in the mid 1970’s. The Reserve Riesling is composed of the best parcels, which are set aside in and released with age, this vintage with 5 years in bottle.

This is a wine of both power and texture, but more importantly, it's a wine of complexity. It engages you. Citrus rind, grapefruit, petroleum, crushed fennel seeds and bright orange blossom characters put on a display that is at once exquisite and kaleidoscopic. Drink 2023-2032.

All hail Crawford River riesling! The top dog from the top dog!
It’s magnificent. A schooling in riesling beauty, tension, texture, vitality, layers of fruit, spice, yeasty elements and a persistence that can’t be beat. If anything, a little more understated than other Reserve rieslings from CR, not quite delicate but playing to a more gentle strength. Fragrant, with a fog of fruit and spice, flavoursome but in a sheath of lightly puckering texture. Stains the palate gently too. I like that the wine has character, not set to a standard, loaded with character. Vibrant through that great trail of the finish. Stellar stuff. Drink 2023 - 2035+
