Pale lemon in color, this Sauvignon Blanc speaks of the complex soils found at our Te Muna vineyard. The elegant aromas of white peach, lemon, blossoms, fresh-cut herbs, and passionfruit follow through to the palate, which is met with crisp acidity. The wine is harmonized by the stoney minerality, subtle salinity, and chalky texture that the old river stones of our vineyards provide.

Founded in 1998, Craggy Range is a benchmark ambassador for the high quality of New Zealand’s wines, guided by a philosophy of quality, innovation and stewardship. Handpicking a portion of our Sauvignon Blanc allows for whole bunch pressing and barrel fermentation, techniques that add layers of complexity to the wine. Each parcel of fruit from select blocks is managed and harvested individually, reflecting its specific growing conditions and characteristics. The majority of parcels are fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and large format French oak barrels, with a small amount of sandstone tanks or Austrian oak foudres incorporated too. By blending the various components, over fifty parcels that have been picked, processed and fermented differently, Craggy Range crafts a Sauvignon Blanc that is greater than the sum of its parts, and the purest reflection of Te Muna’s terroir.

The 2024 Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc leads with a lean, complex nose that is layered with preserved citrus, paw paw, stewed apple and white pineapple. The wine has excellent texture on the palate; the phenolic grip here presents an extra dimension of interest and chew, further cementing the appreciation of the wine. This is very good, classy. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.  Drink 2025-2029.
