Boat O'Craigo, Yarra Valley
The winery’s distinctive name echoes that given to a farm in the town of Craigo in Scotland. Where our ancestors settled alongside the docking point for the ferry that crossed the North Esk River. The Boat O’Craigo name and tradition have drifted across seas to settle and book-end Victoria’s burgeoning Yarra Valley with two magnificent vineyards, one in Healesville and the other in Kangaroo Ground. One red, the other white.
• Low sulphur
• Low intervention fining
• Organic practices
• Natural fermentation
Boat O’Craigo practices organic winemaking and production wherever possible: no pesticide use, use of organic ingredients and additives, hand picking fruit, and utilising nutritional and natural compost in the vineyard. As with the ferry’s docking-point, it is here at the gateways to the Yarra Valley that the physical journey of our travels ends, although the journey of the senses is only just beginning.

2020 Sauvignon Blanc
Grown on the Healesville vineyard, this Sauvignon Blanc is grown on three distinct blocks, with two different clones using a variety of spur and cane pruning techniques. The blend was created to highlight the lifted aromas typical of this variety. Fresh mandarine, chamomile, limestone and tropical notes with lemon zest, hints of passionfruit, subtle minerality and a crisp finish.
