Craggy Range Te Muna Pinot Noir 2022 offers a fragrant nose of cranberry, strawberry, and rose petals with hints of red licorice and spice. On the palate, it’s elegant and supple, with fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and a savory earthiness beneath the vibrant red fruit.

Aromas of racy red fruits of cranberries and strawberries with rose petals, red licorice and tangerines. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and fine-grained juicy tannins. Tangy and appetizing wine with good drinkability. Slightly sweet and sour fruit at the end. Drink or hold.

Tasting Notes
Burgundy in colour with a light crimson hue. Dried lavender and garigue, distinctly Te Muna perfume on the nose. An elegant palate with a warm core of brambled wild berries, porcini mushroom and red cherry in balance with the silk-laden tannins, which perfectly frame the wine. It speaks volumes to an incredible site.
