Description
Crawford River wines from Henty in South Western Victoria are crafted exclusively from hand-picked and selected fruit grown at their estate vineyard, whereupon they are vinified and bottled on site. The fruit is brought to the winery in small parcels, where meticulous attention is paid to detail. Patience and time are of the essence in their winery.
Notes from the winery about this vintage:
“Picked 2 ways (heavily Botrytised/moderately Botrytised), created well defined Botrytised fruit character and concentration. 100% Whole Bunch pressed – very slowly – to tank and racked after a short settle. Inoculated with neutral yeast and slowly cool-fermented until an ideal balance of sugar/acid/alcohol was reached. Racking and chilling occurred immediately after completion of fermentation to preserve fruit and balance. 100% Stainless Steel. Bentonite and cold stabilised. Sterile filtered. Bottled Mid- September 2017
“A very elegant expression of our Nektar. A beautiful, fine line of pure citrus elements alongside the typical dried apricot and kumquat marmalade that speak of the natural botrytis present in this wine. Delicate lime flowers, together with lemon curd and subtle, pithy qualities create a divine juxtaposition between sweet and savoury notes, which elicit complexity and sophistication. The varying, unctuous qualities are underpinned by a taut line of acidity which drives the palate, creating freshness and definition, counteracting any potential for cloying on what is a fabulous, long finish. Superb now, this wine will continue to age for a number of years to come.”
93 points, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion “Candied citrus, honey, spice, honeysuckle aromas are in total harmony. The palate is fine, structure is taut, filled with toffee apple and sweet crabapple-jelly flavour. Goes long, presents fresh. Delicious.”
