This vineyard is over 30 years old, and produces super high quality fruit. Cinsault has a lower acidity than the other red varieties that the Cravens work with (Pinot Noir and Syrah), so they treat it carefully to keep it fresh. A powerful yet soft wine, with plenty of black cherry and plum, satin tannins and a pleasing crunchiness on the finish.

After the GPD wine team visited South Africa in 2018 to find exceptional wines to bring back to Australia, the most exciting discovery was finding an Australian making wine in Stellenbosch with his South African wife! This is Craven wines - unique expressions of special vineyards, made with care, nuance and craft. These are some of the most delicious wines we've tasted in a while. Craven is husband and wife, Mick & Jeanine. Mick is originally from Adelaide, and met his better half in 2007 while they were both working harvest in Sonoma, California. After bonding and then finishing their winemaking degrees, they decided to hit the road, see lots of things, work in lots of places and try and learn as much as possible from this massive wine world. Harvests in different regions in different countries eventually led them back to Stellenbosch, South Africa in 2011. They love this part of the world, and want nothing more than to express the area through their wines - letting the grapes do the talking....
