Crawford River Riesling 2025 from Belinda Thomson in Victoria’s cool Henty region is a thrilling, finely etched Australian Riesling, delivering pristine citrus, floral perfume and a chalky mineral line built for both immediate pleasure and long-term cellaring.

Lime juice, lemon peel and pink grapefruit rise with apple blossom, jasmine, talc and a whisper of wet stone. The palate is dry, intense and gently textured, balancing juicy citrus flavour with shimmering natural acidity, saline minerality and a finish that carries on beautifully.

Crawford River Riesling is outstanding with freshly shucked oysters, kingfish sashimi, chilli prawns, Thai green curry or goat’s cheese. Serve it well chilled and enjoy its laser-like freshness now, or cellar this Henty Riesling to uncover more honeyed and toasty complexity.
