Description
The 2024 Pomona Riesling
A tribute to Pomona, the greek god of Vintage, Grapes and gardens.
An ode to Riesling.
Tony Love;
A three-block selection from the Crabtree estate vineyard in Watervale, bringing out a more delicate Riesling, aromas spread across the yellow and green citrus spectrum, lemon zest a clear part of the mix. While the “Estate” of the same vintage is turbo-charged in acidity, this is far more restrained with a powder and pith like texture softening the grapes’ natural acid lines and lengthening its palate drive and quiet yet clear set of Riesling flavours. Sensitive styling ensures an elegant varietal expression. 94/100

Crabtree Pomona riesling 2024
The fruit comes off three blocks on the estate, with each contributing to a pure and delicate expression of riesling. A feature is the high-energy palate with its zingy acidity adding a tingling mouth feel. A subtle wet pebbly slaty character permeates throughout as it focuses through to the finish.
