Such a fantastic value, this Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is one of the best white wine values of the vintage, making it to the 11th spot on WineSpectator's top 100 of 2024. Craggy Range, founded by the Peabody family, is recognized for single-vineyard expressions that reflect site specificity, emphasizing quality over volume. The 2023 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Vineyard is the perfect example of their commitment to great wine and is sourced from a 33-hectare vineyard in Martinborough, New Zealand, established in 1998. The Te Muna site, known for its gravelly soils and cool climate, produces fruit with notable minerality and acidity for some very impressive wines. This Sauvignon Blanc is vinified in stainless steel to preserve varietal purity and crispness with minimal intervention used in the fermentation room. The 2023 vintage experienced a temperate growing season with moderate rainfall, resulting in balanced ripeness and fresh aromatics. This is a top value of the year and a great bottle of Sauvignon Blanc not to miss!
