The 2022 Pinot Gris from Craven Wines is a standout example of South Africa's evolving winemaking scene. Crafted by Mick and Jeanine Craven, this boutique winery focuses on single-vineyard, single-varietal wines sourced from organic farms in Stellenbosch's Polkadraai Hills and Newlands regions.

The 2022 vintage is particularly noteworthy, fermented with six days of skin contact in concrete tanks, imparting a delicate salmon-pink hue and a subtle tannic structure. The nose offers aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and a hint of honeysuckle. On the palate, it delivers a crisp acidity balanced by a creamy texture and a lingering finish. This wine has received acclaim, earning 91 points from Gismondi on Wine and praise for its "memorable" character.
