Craggy Range Rosé 2022 is a vibrant, Merlot-Tempranillo blend from Hawke’s Bay. Pale rose in hue with notes of juniper, rosewater, and wild berries. The palate is silky and textural, bursting with raspberry and pomegranate, balanced by a subtle, savoury edge. Fresh and poised with mineral lift and fine tannin tension.

2022  Tasting Notes
Brilliant bright veiled rose in colour. Lifted juniper and rosewater perfume with underlying crushed wild berry fragrance. The palate has a textural succulence of raspberry and pomegranate fruits, finely balanced with a savoury phenolic line. Delicious.
