Pure Sauvignon Blanc, luxuriously barrel fermented through the spontaneous action of wild indigenous yeasts. A curious selection of tubular cigar shaped casks are essential to the style, longer and slimmer than traditional barriques to maximize sedimentery lees contact and enhance exposure to oak. Twelve months of age on light solids builds creamy richness and introduces Burgundian influenced, grapefruit boulangère complexity. A voluptuously proportioned, yet elegant, textural wine, a bliss alongside lemon and rosemary partridge or quail.
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw green hues. A delicious nose of ripe yellow stone fruit, hints of dried pineapple over subtle oak undertones. Delicate mineral notes and firm chalky flavours, lending weight to the textural palate, supple oak and time on lees lending interest and increasing depth to the back. Fine acidity, well balanced and fabulous length.

About Crawford River Wines
Inspired by its potential to produce superior quality grapes, John and Catherine Thomson planted their vineyard in 1975 at Crawford River, in south west Victoria, a relatively unexplored wine growing region
Crawford River is located in the Henty winegrowing region on the Upper Hotspur Road between Hotspur, on the Casterton/Heywood Road and Condah, along the Henty Highway, half way between Hamilton and Portland. The winery is less than an hour from Port Fairy, Dunkeld, Portland and Mt. Gambier in South Australia. The beautiful cellar door building added in 2000 was designed by Graeme Gunn. Visitors can drink in the glorious views of the vineyard that sweep down to grazing cattle and sheep as they sample the wines. Crawford River»
