Brown Brothers Crouchen Riesling

Brown Brothers Crouchen Riesling has fruit driven aromas that follow through to a palate which is mouth filling, full of natural grape sweetness and rounded out with a crisp balancing finish.



This Australian white wine has a bright pale straw colour with youthful green tinges. The nose is lifted with aromas of passionfruit, ripe pear and peach. Brown Brothers Crouchen Riesling should be served well chilled and enjoyed when young and fresh.



The white grape variety, Crouchen originated in the western Pyrenees of France but due to growing difficulties in the region, is no longer planted in any quantity. However, it can now be found in parts of Australia where it is a vigorous variety, producing a wine of flavour and body with enticing hints of ripe melon and a delicate finish. The riesling component brings length of flavour and a distinctive stamp of elegance to this blend.



This approachable and versatile wine is a great accompaniment to a variety of spicy dishes such as Thai green chicken curry or a warm salad of pumpkin, couscous, shaved pear, green sultana and harissa, as the natural fruit sweetness helps balance the spicy zing.  Brown Brothers Crouchen Riesling also complements light desserts such as pannacotta or creme brulee. Alternatively, try it with a baked pear tart served with mascarpone or a platter of soft cheeses with a selection of dried fruits.
