The Craggy Range Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a testament to precision winemaking from one of New Zealand's top producers. This single-vineyard wine, made from handpicked fruit grown on the lower terrace of Te Muna Road, stands out for its texture, complexity, and intensity. The cooler climate of Martinborough lends the wine its hallmark aromatic freshness and a distinctive steely minerality, while the rocky soils contribute to the concentration and vibrancy of the fruit. Expect elegant notes of citrus, green herbs, and a hint of white flowers, all beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity and a subtle, layered texture. The 2023 vintage is particularly noteworthy for its purity and finesse, offering a Sauvignon Blanc that transcends expectations and appeals even to those who typically avoid the variety. A stylish, sophisticated wine perfect for any occasion.

Fresh kaffir lime leaf, passionfruit flower, lime zest, hints of basil and thyme with white floral aromatics.

The palate shows an abundance of fruit intensity in tune with the textural elements and crystalline finish that this vineyard is loved for. Sophisticated and moreish. Drinking well now through 2028 and will be magical with fresh oysters and other seafood. The recommended serving temperature is 6-8 degrees.
