Winery
Husband and wife team Candice Helbig and Frewin Ries established CRFT Wines in 2012. In 2016 they purchased one of Carey Gully's oldest Adelaide Hills properties, establishing the winery's first vineyard, Arranmore.
CRFT Wines specialize in small batch, single vineyard wines. Shiraz, Pinot Noir and the Austrian variety Grüner Veltliner are the focus. A handful of blocks in the Adelaide Hills, Barossa Valley and Eden Valley provide the fruit, alongside their own Arranmore Vineyard, organically grown on rich sandy loam soils. The CRFT Wines aim is to leave minimal winemaking footprint and produce untarnished examples of soil and season.
CRFT Wines highlights include Shiraz from the Fechner Vineyard in the Eden Valley, its Arranmore and Budenberg Pinot Noirs and Grüner Veltliner from the Longview Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills.
