Craggy Range Martinborough Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc 2024

A Savvy from the Martinborough region in New Zealand, rather than the more familiar Marlborough, yet it still offers the classic Kiwi flavours. The slightly cooler climate gives the wine some welcome drive. There are 10% whole bunches used, with fermentation in stainless steel, French oak barriques and French oak puncheons, 2% new. The colour is a shimmering pale lemon, while the nose exhibits powerful aromatics, with passionfruit, guava, citrus, nettles and a hint of lantana, but it is the tropical characters which are to the fore. There is bright, slightly crunchy acidity and impressive length. An obvious Savvy style, which fans will love. Enjoy over the next four years.
