2013 Crawford River Riesling

2025-12-27T22:35:21Z

89 points - This wine tastes quite different to your average aged riesling, such as those from the Clare. Not noticeably bad, but I wonder if it is past its best. Lacking in the kind of zesty, acidic length that I was expecting.

2024 Crawford River Riesling

2025-01-20T10:24:59Z

94 points - Full bright yellow. Restrained, refined wet stone and delicate floral aromas. Powerful, full flavoured, citrus complexities abound, there is detail here as well as intensity and drive. Also there seems to be an element of barrel character.

95 points - Piercing bright flavour zipping across the palate. Citrus abounds. Amazing after 12 years. Tastes like it would live easily for another decade - no sign of any toast yet. Brilliant aged riesling.

95 points - Pale. There is a dark undertone that sets this apart. Superb, a standout amongst the other Rieslings on the table. Absolutely super.

2009 Seppelt Drumborg Vineyard Riesling

2022-01-30T07:26:20Z

93 points - Very fresh and lively with terrific length and complexity. Hard to believe this is 13 years old. Has a good few years left in it yet and will only get better.

2020 Crawford River Young Vines Riesling

2021-08-04T11:14:26Z

92 points - Pale yellow green. Lemon blossom nose. Palate shows lime, minerality and superb fresh acidity against a backdrop of light residual sweetness. The acidity and sweetness need time to meld - it’s a very young wine still but a very good one in the making.
