Description

Craggy Range Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc 2022

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.

Ageing potential: Cellar for 1–4 years from vintage.

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.

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.
