CRFT 2025 Grüner Veltliner – Arranmore Vineyard (Certified Organic)
CAREY GULLY – PICCADILLY VALLEY – ADELAIDE HILLS
About the wine
It glistens in the glass like an Australian green sapphire. Citrus blossoms, lime and lime leaf initially, then in true Gruner style, the background flavours of white pepper and fennel seeds light-up! The palate shows slate like minerality and is rich and full with a powdery / crunchy, savory / sweet texture like a green papaya. 12.5% alc/vol
Cellaring
Enjoy at release or drink/cellar until 2030+.
Winemaking
Made by Candice and Frew at the CRFT winery in Carey Gully. Whole-bunch pressed to tank, then transferred to older seasoned (neutral) French barriques for barrel fermentation on full solids. 100% wild yeast ferment. Full wild MLF and regular lees stirring. Around 2 months in barrel. Vegan friendly.
Arranmore Vineyard
If there is one reason why we tough-out the cold climate at Arranmore, well this vineyard is it! Being an East / South facing slope on top off a breezy hill, it can feel relentlessly cold.
When we drive out the driveway it feels like anywhere in SA is warmer than us, and that's probably the truth.
Estate-owned, managed and farmed, the 5-acre Arranmore Vineyard has been farmed organically since Frewin & Candice took ownership in January 2016. NASAA Certified Organic since February 2019.
