The ‘Crofters’ label originated from Stonecroft Wines founders, Dr. Alan Limmer and his wife Glennice, who established Stonecroft in 1982. Fistonich Family Vineyards, who purchased the Stonecroft brand in 2024, have continued the legacy, producing the Crofters label. A ‘Crofter” one whom works a small parcel of land defines this label and the history behind the family owned artisanal wine brand. For the Crofters Syrah we pick our Syrah in a number of different batches, as we have different clones, vineyards and ages of vines all grown sustainably on the Gimblett Gravels. We aim to produce a wine that will reward with short to medium term cellaring but serious enough to drink young.
