Craven
Craven Wines is all about exploring the vast array of unique sites in the coastal region of South Africa known as Stellenbosch. Created by Mick and Jeanine Craven in 2012 with a few barrels of Pinot Noir from her family vineyards, it has grown to encompass wines from further afield in the Stellenbosch landscape. Although growing up on different sides of the Indian Ocean and having spent many years learning around the world, all roads eventually led back to the tip of Africa. Both drawn in by the great vineyard sites, culture and energy of the Cape Winelands. The aim is to make honest, pure wines from single sites with attentive intervention.
Description
"Second vintage from a Vlottenburg vineyard planted in 2016. Fermented and matured for eight months in concrete tanks. Flowers, herbs, red and black berries and a touch of white pepper on the nose. Good fruit concentration, punchy acidity and nicely grippy tannins – poised and detailed, tightly wound, long on the finish. A marked step up on the maiden 2024. Alc: 12.25%." CE
