2009

The Crabtree Cellar Door Release wines are small parcels of wines only available by visiting the Cellar Door or to Mail Order customers.
They’re little Watervale gems that are a treat to discover and share with friends. The 2009 Clare vintage is highly regarded for producing Rieslings that present excellent length and structure. The 2009 Cellar Door Release Riesling is crafted from handpicked Crabtree Watervale Estate fruit. This dry Riesling was cold fermented at very low temperatures to ensure all the fresh fruit flavours are retained. It is made from a combination of free run juice and light pressings. With 18 months in the bottle the wine is drinking beautifully with a touch of toast and biscuit on the nose followed by rich fruit and a clean crisp citrus finish. Pour a couple of chilled glasses with beer battered fish and chips wrapped in newspaper or a pile of fresh hand peeled prawns.
