Craggy Range Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a vibrant, mineral-driven expression from Martinborough’s cool-climate soils. Bright citrus, white florals, and a hint of sweet pea meet steely minerality and delicate texture. Precision, purity, and length define this elegant vintage.

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.

Grown on the lower terrace at Te Muna Road, this wine shows a unique level of texture and complexity. The cooler climate of Martinborough ensures the wine is aromatic with steely minerality while the rocky soils gives intensity of the fruit.

2023 Tasting Notes
Very pale straw. Precision and purity are hallmarks of the 2023 release. Fresh kaffir lime leaf and 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.
