2025 CRFT K1 Gruner Veltliner
Candice and Frewin from CRFT have a particular fascination with Gruner Veltliner, and are probably the first Australian producer to explore 'sub-regionality' with the variety.
This comes from Geoff Hardy's famed K1 Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, and is a wonderfully pure and pristine expression of Gruner. It's early-picked and definitely a wine driven by acid and refreshment rather than overt flavour. Aside from a small amount of lees contact to add texture, the focus here is on clean and pure fruit.
As always with CRFT's wines, there is precious little added and it is vegan-friendly. Gruner is a grape excelling in the Adelaide Hills, and no one executes it with more thought and care than CRFT. Give it a go!
