Wine
CRFT Wines K1 Vineyard Grüner Veltliner is grown at Geoff Hardy's K1 Vineyard on Kuitpo in the Adelaide Hills. The site lies at 300 metres elevation with a north-west aspect.
The grapes are handpicked. Half are whole bunch pressed to tank, while the remainder are destemmed and stay on skins for a short time before pressing.
The batches are blended for wild yeast fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Part way through, a portion of the wine is transferred to seasoned, neutral French oak to finish fermentation.
Both the tank and oak fermented parcels are occasionally lees stirred to build complexity. Some malolactic fermentation occurs naturally.
Light yellow, CRFT Wines K1 Vineyard Grüner Veltliner is a dry, textural and distinctly mineral wine, finishing with fresh stone fruit flavours. Cellaring potential is five years.
