Crafted by Mick and Jeanine Craven in Stellenbosch, the Ann Faure White Blend by Craven delivers an energetic, terroir-driven white wine. The winemakers blend vibrant Chenin Blanc with aromatic Viognier to create a harmoniously balanced profile. Native yeasts drive natural fermentation, while aging takes place primarily in neutral stainless steel tanks and concrete vessels to retain pristine fruit purity.
