Grape varietal & region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit is grown on the lower terrace of Te Muna Road Vineyard in Martinborough. The vines grow in volcanic rocky, clay soils and enjoy a cool maritime climate.
Taste profile: Craggy Range Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc shows a unique level of texture and complexity. Very pale straw colour. Aromatic with a steely minerality, the nose has fresh aromas of passion fruit and kaffir lime leaf. The textural palate is dry with a crunchy acidity and a saline finish that will have you reaching for another glass.
Winemaking process: Partially hand harvesting of the fruit. 10% whole bunch and 90% destemmed fermentation in stainless steel tanks and French oak barriques using partial wild yeasts. The wine ages on its lees for 5 months in old and new French oak barrels before fining, filtering and bottling.
Ageing potential: Cellar for 1–4 years from vintage.
From the limestone character of Sancerre to the green, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc of Marlborough, this style group often shows off cut grass and wet stone. Often associated with coastal regions or limestone based terroir, these wines are characterised with crisp acidity, mineraiity, citrus tones, with a hint of grassiness
