CRAGGY RANGE SAUVIGNON BLANC

Grown on the lower terrace at Te Muna Road, this wine shows a unique level of texture and complexity. The cooler climate of Martinborough ensures the wine is aromatic with steely minerality while the rocky soils gives intensity of the fruit.

TASTING NOTES, ETC

Pale lemon straw. Ripe Sauvignon Blanc aromatics with notes of white stone fruit, passionfruit pulp and kaffir lime. The palate is alive with flavour, deep in concentration but with distinct saline acidity arriving at a wine that has both presence and drinkability.
