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 'Beta' 2015 [Museum Release in 2024]

Crawford River 'Beta' 2022

Approx 50/50 Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon. From a special section within the Crawford River site that contains fossilised sea shells in chalky limestone, below an ironstone rich topsoil.

"A poised amalgam of cashew nut, green melon, green walnut, flint and chalk. Deep florals play around the edges of the front palate. The time on lees lends a silky palate, with texture and gentle structure. Bright and fresh, the acidity is an essential part of the length, persistence and longevity of this … more

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 [Museum Release in 2024]

Producer Notes '2008 was a very long growing season, but also a warm, dry season. As a result, the wines were quite rich stylistically, with wonderful generosity of fruit and terrific concentration.

Blackcurrant, black cherry and cedar combine with edges of black olive to present a magnificent, aged release wine. The concentrated fruit profile leans to black, rather than red fruit, with an elegant, fine palate providing integrated, highly quality French oak. There is liquorice root and baked blood plum, … more

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Winery Notes "Blackberry, mulberry, dark chocolate and edges of black cherry. The focussed palate shows liquorice notes, gorgeous oak and black fruits, with fine tannins pulling a line from start to finish. There is a graphite component through the middle, together with a red gravel complexity, which conspire to add depth and density. Balance is key, with the natural acidity aiding the persistence and complimenting the depth we aspire to in our best wines." The wine spent 22 months in … more

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 2017 [Museum Release in 2024]

97 Points - Mike Bennie. 96 Points - James Halliday.

"Bright in the glass, the calciferous nature of the soils on which this wine grows is unmistakably evident. Lemon curd, custard apple, lime and an omnipresent shell-like character are all there. Clean definition through the palate provides depth of flavour, balance and an underlying power throughout. There is freshness here too, which in a 7 year old wine is a pleasure to see. The wonderful palate length is aided by … 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 Riesling 2024

Producer Notes - "This wine is still young and tightly coiled, showing delicate poise and huge promise. Talc and powdery chalk drive the front palate, together with edges of white florals and apple blossom that will surely evolve with time. Fruit weight lends power alongside elegance through the palate, with minerality and textural definition from start to finish. Pure, steely and fine, if drinking upon release, we recommend decanting. A stunning vintage. - Belinda Thomson, winemaker."

Crawford River Strata Riesling 2024

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 Chardonnay 2023

From the Cobobboonee vineyard, 30kms south of Crawford River. The soil type is predominantly a duplex clay-loam with areas of costal plain sand and a base of limestone.

"From the Cobboboonee vineyard, roughly 30kms south of Crawford River. Enticing aromas of white peach, pear, apple blossom and cashew. And while the palate is tightly wound, it fans out nicely on the saline, grapefruit pithy finish. A welcome new addition to the range and a wine that will continue to blossom … more

Crawford River Vineyard Series Pinot Noir 2023

"Delicate, redcurrants and mulberry are first and foremost in this wine. Fine and pure, the subtle use of oak presents gently on the palate, with fine, powdery tannins throughout. There are notes of orange and chalky texture evident through the palate. Soft, approachable, natural acidity finishes the wine beautifully, making for delicious drinking." - Belinda Thomson, Vigneron. … more

Crawford River Vineyard Series Rose 2023

From a neighbouring vineyard, our favourite Henty winemaker Belinda Thomson has put together this lovely Pinot Gris dominant rosé. Scents of tart cranberry, apple blossom and fresh strawberries dance out of the glass, over a chalky palate that finishes refreshingly lightly.

Lethbridge 'The JD' Henty Pinot Noir 2023

Sourced from the Doeven site in Henty Victoria on schist soils, the Pinot Noir clone is of swiss origin (Mariafield) with an open bunch structure, perfectly suited for ripening in cooler climates. Hand picked and fermented in open top vessels with a small whole bunch component, matured in oak for 11 months … more
