Crawford River Estate Riesling

Crawford River Estate Riesling 2025, crafted by Belinda Thomson in Victoria’s cool Henty region, delivers striking concentration, fragrant citrus blossom and a compelling mineral core. Drawn from the estate’s original 1970s plantings, this beautifully defined Riesling combines generous flavour with precision, making it an exciting addition to a thoughtfully stocked cellar.

Lemon zest, orange blossom and jasmine rise from the glass, followed by wet-stone nuances and an enticing makrut lime accent. The palate is concentrated and gently textured, with energetic freshness carrying the flavours into a long, mouth-watering finish. Crawford River’s 2025 Estate Riesling offers depth without heaviness and fragrance without losing focus

Serve chilled alongside freshly shucked oysters, kingfish sashimi or grilled whiting with lemon and herbs. These suggested pairings let its floral perfume and mineral character shine, while a warm goat’s cheese salad offers a delicious alternative. Enjoy its youthful intensity over a special seafood lunch, or cellar carefully for further complexity.
