Apis Florea 2019
Made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes grown at the Crawford River Vineyard, this wine is made with minimal intervention. Whole clusters were pressed, and the juice settled overnight in tank to remove heavy solids. Subsequently racked to old, French Oak barrels for fermentation, the wine spent around 16 months on lees. Carefully monitored throughout production, the wine in barrel was not topped for a significant period, with the hope that an amount of ullage and time would create positive, … more

Apis Henty Pinot Gris 2022
This wine is made from fruit grown by Larry and Angela at Cobbobonnee vineyard, west of Heywood in GI Henty, Victoria. 2022 was a cool year, with plenty of hen and chicken in the Pinot Gris creating loads of small berries in the bunches, which meant very good flavour. The fruit was destemmed and spent 2 days on skins prior to natural ferment starting. It then had 4 days of fermentation on skins prior to pressing. Fermentation was completed in … more

Crawford River "Noble Dry" Riesling 2022
Crawford has done it again with another stellar Riesling release. This is a wine, made in tiny volumes, has only been produced just twice in their history. As always, Belinda Thomson is highly respectful of each year's conditions and works to make wines in response to the season.
As some may remember, Noble Dry was born in 2011, when we left a section of a single block for one week following a downpour and subsequent warmth toward the end of … more

Crawford River 'Beta' Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2014 [Museum Release in 2023]
Released from the Crawford River Cellar in December 2023.
"Screwcap. Cellaring the 2014 Beta required a slight leap of faith at the time however we suspected this vintage would go the distance given the purity from this cool vintage. This wine has aged superbly. The nutty spectrum we often see is there, together with an element of green, brined olive. A wonderful umami quality is seen throughout, with aged lees characters a delicious feature. The structure and texture of the … more

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 [Museum Release in 2023]
Re-released from the Crawford Cellar. Screwcap.
Producer Notes - "we are delighted with the result from this restrained and elegant year. Dark chocolate, red and black fruits, allspice, bay, tobacco leaf. With 17 years of age, this wine is youthful and still full of life. The medium bodied palate is lively and supple, with soft tannins and fresh acidity lending complexity and length. The fruit was hand picked and crushed to open fermenters. Hand plunged regularly throughout a moderate fermentation. … more

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Producer Notes - "Lovely black, lifted fruits and underlying earthy tones define the introduction to this wine. The palate is plush, supple and dense. There is spice - think liquorice and allspice - with blackcurrant, dark chocolate and a hint of bay. The fine, powdery tannins and seamlessly integrated acidity help define and elongate this superb example of Crawford River Cabernet.
100% hand-picked fruit is carefully selected in the vineyard. At the winery, it is destemmed without crushing and the … more

Crawford River Cabernets 2020
A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon & 25% Cabernet Franc. Beautiful lifted, spiced blue fruits and baked red fruit are the primary forces here. Rhubarb, Mulberry and morello cherry coupled with mixed spice and bay leaves that carry through the palate. The chalky texture along with lovely, supple acidity, pull the wine together to create this very elegant Cabernet blend.

Crawford River Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
"This is not a big, bold Cabernet Sauvignon as you may traditionally expect a 'Reserve' wine to be. Like our Reserve Riesling it is, first and foremost, a special vineyard selection, curated and cared for in the winery to highlight the fruit tannins and natural acidity.
Making a 'first of a kind' is always a bit of an unknown - even if your vision is really clear. I couldn't be happier with the eventuality. It depicts and defines what I … more

Crawford River Riesling 2023
Producer Notes - "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 … more

Crawford River Strata Riesling 2023
Producers Note - "Formally known as 'Young Vines' Riesling. The fruit for this wine is sourced from a block that was added in 2001 at the western border of the original plantings. While the very top of this block is an ironstone-rich, gravelly ridge, much of the block shows a prevalence towards a rich,
loam dominant soil over limestone footing. These factors coupled with a multitude of influences, micro-climatic and otherwise, yield an expression quite different to our original blocks. … more

Crawford River Vineyard Series Rose 2023
Producer Notes - "The fruit for this wine is predominantly Pinot Gris which was purchased from the Cobboboonee Vineyard in Heywood. The remainder of the blend is made up of Semillon. The Pinot Gris was left on skins overnight, before gentle, cremant cycle pressing. The juice was fermented naturally in a combination of stainless steel and old oak. The Semillon portion was whole bunch pressed, settled in tank, then naturally fermented in old oak. Both wines were taken off gross … more
