Crawford River, Henty, Victoria
John and Catherine Thomson planted the vineyard in 1975 at Crawford River, in far south-west Victoria. They were inspired by its potential to produce superior quality grapes after researching & experiencing many grape growing areas of the world. It was a relatively unexplored wine growing region and indeed remains merely a blot on the canvas. Although the area is now known as the GI of Henty.
'BETA' Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2020
This wine is immediately inviting on the nose with an open, expressive fruit profile. It leads with a fine citric note which in-turn moves into grapefruit, white stone fruit and green melon. Underlying this fruit is a wave of savoury characters. The hallmark Crawford River chalk is here alongside delicate almond, stone-like mineral and creamy macadamia. The palate is soft and supple, textured and silken with a fine acid line that drives the palate, front to back. The length of flavour, intensity and complexity are highlights of this wine as it lingers and further evolves in the glass. Sure to last long into the future, but an utter pleasure to drink now.
