Craven - Cinsaut 2022 (750ml) 25% ChardonnayAs Stellenbosch revolutionaries, Mick and Jeanine Cravens constant experimentation and their willingness to fight for great little parcels, have made them the poster couple for bringing whole bunch, skin contact, early picking and all things geeky to Stellenbosch.
