Mick and Jeanine Craven have been friends of Uncharted for some time and we are delighted to sell their wines in the UK. They started Craven Wines in 2014, sourcing fruit from single vineyard sites in and around Stellenbosch and making “site-specific, honest wines”. Originally from Australia, Mick met Jeanine whilst working in Sonoma, California, before both moving to South Africa in 2011.
All fruit sourced now comes only from vineyards whose farmers are dedicated to working their land organically. Stellenbosch has an array of different sites and terroirs allowing Mick to “let the grapes do the talking…” Increasingly they work with farmers who understand the importance of cover crops and removing chemical treatments.
The winemaking approach keeps things relatively simple; no cultured yeasts, enzymes or fining agents are added. Bottling is with minimal sulphur additions.
This is the first release in a new range, Ann Faure, from Mick and Jeanine Craven. The grapes are destemmed and fermented in concrete with native yeasts. After 8 days the wine is pressed off the skins and aged for 10 months, 80% in stainless steel and 20% in concrete.
