The newest member of the Craven family comes from Blue Gum Grove Vineyard in Stellenbosch’s Polkadraai Hills. This eastern portion of the region has more influence from False Bay, making it slightly cooler. Planted in granite and sand in 2005, this site is farmed by Danie Carinus. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed to tank where the juice settles overnight. It’s then racked into neutral puncheon for fermentation and élevage.
