Craven Wines

Mick and Jeanine Craven met during the 2007 harvest in Sonoma. After studying and working through different wine regions, they settled in Stellenbosch in 2011, drawn by the variety of sites across its landscape. They made their first few barrels in 2012 from Jeanine’s family vineyards.

Each wine comes from a particular Stellenbosch vineyard. The Cravens use naturally occurring yeasts, without added enzymes or fining agents, and add only a small amount of sulphur after fermentation. Their cellar uses older, large oak vessels and concrete.
