Based on the single vineyard philosophy of winemaking, Craggy Range was the first in the Southern Hemisphere to specialise in the production of single vineyard wines from the most prestigious winegrowing regions across New Zealand including Martinborough, Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough.

This is an uncompromisingly dark wine that plays to New Zealand’s strengths in terms of purity and vivacity of fruit: raspberry, cherry and plum come streaming from the glass, and the fine meshing of fruit and oak in this wine adds to its lustre and appeal. In the mouth, the wine is both long and broad but not in any way clumsy, and the fruit flavours are hypnotic. Svelte tannins are barely palpable, so there’s no textural barrier to entry.

Juicy dark-black fruits, red cherry, strawberry and hints of clove and forest floor. Silky and precise on the palate, it delivers layers of cherries, plums and raspberry with dried herbs and oak spice. Smooth sailing on an elegant and earthy finish. Delicious now, further reward with age. Rating: Double Gold & 98 Points; New Zealand International Wine Show 2025
