Craggy Range Pinot Noir, Martinborough 2022

Dark burgundy in colour with an ever so slight purple hue. Distinctly varietal on the nose. Red cherry, wild strawberry and hints of brioche. The wine is vibrant across the palate with svelte red fruits and velvety tannins. Immediately approachable and salivating

The Te Muna Road Vineyard is 7 kilometres outside the Martinborough township. The vineyard consists of two distinct terraces, the higher comprising very old, stony clay-infused soils perfect for Pinot Noir. The lower terrace of younger stony soils interleaved with limestone provides an excellent environment for Sauvignon Blanc. The cooler climate of Martinborough ensures the wine is aromatic with steely minerality, while the rocky soils give intensity to the fruit. The region’s warm, dry summers and mild winters have led to complex and structured wines with subtle aromatics and an elegant finish.
