Crawford River
Riesling
Henty, Western Victoria, Victoria, Australia
Pale lemon yellow in colour. Aromas of talc and orange/mandarin skin. Palate of medium plus intensity showing mandarin flesh and lime. A cool to cold climate terroir at Henty on Victoria’s south west coast facing the southern Ocean and ensuring a long ripening period. At 11 years still very lively - the mouth puckering acid of its youth has diminished but enough there to ensure a few more years in the cellar. An exceptional Riesling and one of Australia’s best IMO.

Oct 24th, 2025Lemon in colour. Floral aromas. Very youthful on the palate. Acid floods over the sides and back of the tongue. From a region I don’t have much experience with as in Henty on the southwestern coast of Victoria. A faint paraffin smell which will turn into Kerosene aromas in years to come. In the Excellent category at the recent Langtons Classification Tasting.
