Mick Craven has been a friend of Uncharted for some time and we are delighted to sell his wines in the UK. Mick and his wife Jeanine 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. 

Syrah is one of Mick and Jeanine's favorite varieties, and this particular parcel is from a farm in the Devon Valley. The vines are planted on deep, rich, red soil with a high clay content. Fermentation is done whole bunch, with a little foot pressing to extract a little juice. Grapes were pressed after 9 days before spending 10 months in old puncheons.
