The Cravens have a passion for Stellenbosch and its unique terroir. They have had the privilege of working with six incredible vineyards, aiming to express these special sites in a pure and honest manner. Their goal is to make wines that are authentic, have a sense of place, and tell a story of where they come from. They believe that vineyards are not just about the soil, the microclimate, and the site, but also about the people who farm them. They see the harmony of these factors coming together to tell a beautiful story. In the winery, they work in a very “hands off” manner, allowing the juice to ferment naturally without any additions. They also allow malolactic fermentation to occur to ensure stability in all their wines. The only addition they make is a small amount of sulphur after malolactic fermentation.

The grapes for Grenache 2024 are destemmed into stainless steel open top fermenters. They handle the grapes gently, performing a light pump-over or punch down 1-2 times a day until fermentation is complete. After pressing, the wine is aged in a concrete tank for 8 months.
