World class New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from one of New Zealand's most recognizable winery.
Craggy Range's Te Muna Road Vineyard, located in the cool climate region of Martinborough, is planted in stony, limestone influenced soils, resulting in aromatic and complex wines. A pale lemon straw color in the glass, the Craggy Range Te Muna Road Sauvignon Blanc features aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, honeysuckle and kaffir lime. Harmonious and rich on the palate with ripe citrus and fresh apple and a layered, dry, textural feel. Serve chilled and enjoy with seafood, shellfish, light fish, and spicy dishes.
Craggy Range is a family owned winery established in 1998 and named by U.S publication Wine Enthusiast magazine as New World Winery of the Year for 2014. The winery is situated in the shadow of the spectacular Te Mata Peak in the premium wine growing area of Hawke’s Bay New Zealand. Based on the single vineyard philosophy of winemaking, Craggy Range was the first in the Southern Hemisphere to make single vineyard wines from multiple New Zealand regions with grape varieties matched to place. Craggy Range produces a collection of iconic wines from multiple regions in New Zealand. Owner Terry Peabody and his family pursued the single vineyard approach to winemaking, planting on green fields and bare land ensuring a focus on quality from the very beginning. New Zealand, with its diversity of soils types, offered the perfect location to plant the vines. From the stony, warm soils of the Gimblett Gravels in Hawke’s Bay to the volcanic, clay soils of Te Muna Road in Martinborough these exceptional vineyards produce wines with amazing aromatics, purity and complexity.
