Precision and purity are hallmarks of the 2023 release. Very pale straw in the glass, it bursts with aromas of fresh kaffir lime leaf and white flowers. The palate shows an abundance of fruit intensity in tune with the textural elements and crystalline finish that this vineyard is loved for.
Craggy Range Description
Founded in 1998, Craggy Range exclusively crafts single-vineyard, terroir-driven wines and is a benchmark ambassador for the high quality of New Zealand’s wines. The grapes are partially hand harvested from the estate-owned Te Muna Road Vineyard. 85% of the grapes are destemmed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks and oak barriques using partial wild yeasts. The wine is aged on fine lees for 3 months in a combination of stainless steel tanks and French oak puncheon before being fined, filtered and bottled.

Fresh and precise, with lime, mango and passion fruit notes that are accented by crunchy sea salt, litsea oil, dried chamomile and fresh lemon zest on a mouthwatering, fleshy frame. Drink now.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
Vibrant lime and tropical fruit are in the lead on this aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, with some subtle jalapeño pepper and herbal nuances tucked beneath. The palate offers lovely textural appeal that tempers the citrusy crunch of acidity. There's nice fruit concentration to the long finish.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2023 Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc is bright and crunchy, with sweet pea and green apple, jasmine tea, wisteria flower and crushed shells. It's a lovely wine with lots of reasons to recommend it. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
James Suckling: 91 Points
Flowery with aniseed and licorice. Some subtle lemons. Medium to light body, dry, lovely fruit and a subtle and fine finish. Well done for the vintage. Drink now.
