The 2024 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand’s renowned Martinborough wine region, crafted by Craggy Range. Sourced from the acclaimed Te Muna Road Vineyard, this wine showcases a refined and mineral-driven style that sets it apart from traditional Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Located on ancient river terraces in Martinborough, Te Muna Road benefits from free-draining gravel soils, cool nights, and long sunshine hours. These unique conditions allow Sauvignon Blanc to develop exceptional aromatic intensity while retaining remarkable freshness, texture, and precision.

The 2024 vintage delivered excellent growing conditions, producing fruit with outstanding purity and concentration. A portion of the wine was fermented in stainless steel to preserve vibrant fruit character, while a small percentage underwent fermentation in seasoned French oak barrels, adding texture and complexity without compromising freshness.

The bouquet is intensely aromatic, offering notes of passionfruit, guava, lime zest, grapefruit, and white peach, layered with nuances of fresh herbs, elderflower, crushed stone, and subtle flinty minerality. The aromatic profile is vibrant yet refined, reflecting the distinctive character of the Te Muna Road vineyard.

On the palate, the wine is crisp, energetic, and beautifully textured. Flavours of citrus, passionfruit, gooseberry, green apple, and tropical fruits are balanced by bright natural acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. The combination of fruit purity and savoury complexity creates a wine of remarkable depth and elegance.

The finish is long, refreshing, and mineral-driven, leaving lingering notes of lime, grapefruit, fresh herbs, and saline freshness. While perfect for immediate enjoyment, the wine also possesses the balance and structure to develop additional complexity over the next few years.

A benchmark Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc, the 2024 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Sauvignon Blanc delivers precision, texture, and terroir expression from one of New Zealand’s most respected wineries.
