"The soft acidity falls gently around your mouth, making for great drinking. Delicious mouthfeel from start to finish – like licking river stones. Great length and balance. This wine goes on and on after you finish drinking it – pure joy." - Belinda Thomson, chief winemaker and viticulturist, Crawford River Wines
