2024 Craven Pinot Gris, Stellenbosch, South Africa
$28.00
The grapes were hand harvested and brought back to the Stellenbosch winery. The 2023 marks the second vintage using concrete ‘squares’ for fermentation and aging. The grapes were destemmed, and the juice was left to soak on the skins for seven days. It was then racked and the skins were pressed back to concrete where it aged for eight months. The wine received a light sheet filtration, but no fining, and it was bottled with just 45 ppm sulfur.
