Crawford River Cabernets 2024

"John and Catherine Thomson planted Crawford River in 1975 in far south-western Victoria, in what is now the Henty Geographical Indication. The vineyard sits inland from the Southern Ocean coast at Condah, on cool, even-ripening sites that suit aromatic whites. The first vines were Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon; a small winery was added in 1981, with extensions in 1994 and 2001.

Slow-cooked beef, lamb, hard cheeses; a cool-climate Bordeaux-style blend for cellar lists.
