Craven Pinot Gris 2023 750 ml

Description:

Pinot Gris is not widely planted in Stellenbosch making this a relative rarity. These young vines are planted on an interesting sedimentary rock, cemented into a duricrust by iron oxides. Locally this red soil is called Koffieklip or Coffee Stone. These are usually the first grapes to come into the winery in early January. The wine is fermented in open top tank with about 10% whole-cluster inclusion. After just over a week on skins, it is pressed off into old oak barrels.
