Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand 2024

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.

Hailing from the western side of the Te Muna range, the grapes for this wine enjoy exposure to the afternoon sun in Martinborough, making this one of the warmer blocks in Martinborough. The well-draining soils consist of silt loam and varying levels of clay. The resulting wine has a riper, more tropical fruit profile.

Pale lime to pale straw. Lifted citrus notes interwoven with distinctive tones of passion fruit pulp. The palate has an intriguing slatey palate that carries voluminous citrus fruit. The crunchy acidity perfectly balances the sweet varietal fruit. The finish is long and pure.
