Craven Wines Pinot Noir Ann Faure 2025
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, South AfricaThe Ann Faure range allows the Cravens to explore different sites, and different grapes. The name is an ode to Jeanine’s family heritage of farming and also the middle names of Jeanine and Mick’s children. As with all their wines, this was native fermented, without any additions, and with full MLF. The 2025 Pinot Noir comes from the upper slopes of the Faure ward in Stellenbosch, and 12 year old vines of clone 777. The destemmed fruit was fermented in concrete over 7 days, then pressed of into a mix of stainless and concrete to rest. Pouring a light crimson hue, this crunchy and pretty Pinot is bright with herbal raspberry and cranberry acidity, and wrapped with lightly sticky tannins. Enjoy with a slight chill.Tasted: 30 September 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $28.00 | 750ml | consignment |
