Craggy Range Te Muna Road Sauvignon Blanc 2024
From the esteemed Craggy Range Winery in Martinborough, New Zealand, the Te Muna Road Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a refined expression of single-vineyard terroir. Crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from the lower terrace of Te Muna Road’s limestone-rich soils, it’s partially hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel and oak. Aged on lees for 3 months, it offers a pale lemon hue and vibrant complexity.
Winemaking Process
Craggy Range’s precision defines this wine. The 2024 vintage, influenced by a warm, early harvest, sees 85% destemmed grapes fermented in stainless steel and oak barriques with partial wild yeasts. A small portion (8%) is whole-bunch pressed, enhancing aromatics. Lees aging for 3 months in stainless steel and French oak puncheons adds texture, creating a balanced, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant, precise white with zesty citrus and tropical fruit, showcasing Martinborough’s terroir.
The nose reveals kaffir lime, passionfruit, and white peach, with hints of elderflower, fresh herbs, and saline minerality. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and crisp, with racy acidity, juicy fruit, and a chalky, textural finish.
