Tucked away in Henty, South-Western Victoria, Crawford River Estate was established in 1874 as a sheep and cattle station and still remains in family hands. Fourth generation grazier and Wagga-trained winemaker John Thomson planted a vineyard in 1975 and produced his first late harvest Riesling in 1979. Now joined by his daughter Belinda Thomson, the wines have gone from strength to strength. Best known for their Reserve Riesling, Crawford River also produces a Riesling from younger vines in addition to Semillon, Rosé, and Cabernet Merlot; the hallmark of the entire range being balance and poise.

<p>The estate of Paolo Scavino is set amongst the picturesque rolling hills of Langhe in the tiny commune of Castiglione Falletto. Established in 1921 by Lorenzo Scavino and son Paolo, the family-owned estate is now led by third generation vigneron Enrico Scavino and his daughters Enrica and Elisa. Enrico Scavino is famous for being the very first producer in Barolo to conceive and create a single vineyard cru, the renowned Bric del Fisac in 1978. The Scavino family now has grand cru vineyard holdings in six of the 11 different villages of Barolo, Enrico Scavino's pioneering vision, devotion to single vineyard expression together and fierce commitment to quality is what sets this estate apart from other Barolo producers.</p>
