Lakefield Shiraz Cabernet

Established in 1991 in the Riverina, New South Wales, Cranswick Wines began when Graham Cranswick-Smith led a management buy-out of Diageo’s bulk-wine facility, creating an independent producer of Australian varietal wines. The company sources fruit from long-term contracted vineyards across Australia and has shifted from bulk supply toward its own branded range. Its vineyard management is described as sustainable, with an emphasis on canopy management and relatively low yields, although no formal certifications are noted.
