TASTING NOTES
A traditional burgundy in colour with a soft crimson hue. A very savoury Aroha from 2021 with chanterelle mushroom and white truffle aromas dominating the bouquet. The palate is lively and pure, focusing towards a red fruit core, whilst the tannins are prevalent but balanced. The concentration of flavour is high as a result of the low yield. Plenty of personality in a wine that will continue to soften with age.

VINTAGE DETAIL
A cold and damp spring resulted in low yields. A warm summer gave accelerated ripening conditions.

EXPERT REVIEWS

"A glorious bouquet of powerful dark-cherry fruit, the palate likewise deep and well-structured with abundant powdery, drying tannins leading into a long-lasting finish. Any whole-bunch influence is very discreet. The cherry fruit speaks the loudest. This will richly reward cellaring." - HUON HOOKE 98 POINTS!

"Craggy Range is a family owned winery established in 1997 and situated in the shadow of the spectacular Te Mata Peak in the premium wine growing area of Hawke’s Bay New Zealand.

Craggy Range produces a collection of iconic wines from multiple regions in New Zealand. Owner Terry Peabody and his family pursued the single vineyard approach to winemaking, planting on green fields and bare land ensuring a focus on quality from the very beginning.

New Zealand, with its diversity of soils types offered the perfect location to plant the vines. From the stony, warm soils of the Gimblett Gravels in Hawke's Bay to the volcanic, clay soils of Te Muna Road in Martinborough these exceptional vineyards produce wines with amazing aromatics, purity and complexity.

The wines, produced for the Prestige and Family Collections are pure expressions of the unique terroir in which they were grown." Craggy Range
