Perfumed elegance and savoury complexity define this distinguished Martinborough Pinot Noir from one of New Zealand’s leading producers. The 2025 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Pinot Noir is sourced from the estate’s Te Muna Road Vineyard in Martinborough, a site renowned for its ancient alluvial terraces, limestone influence and cool climate conditions ideally suited to Pinot Noir. Situated on the eastern side of the Ruamahanga River, the vineyard benefits from warm daytime temperatures and cool nights that allow for extended ripening and remarkable flavour precision.
The 2025 vintage reflects the clarity and refinement for which Te Muna Road Pinot Noir has become internationally recognised. In the glass, the wine shows vibrant red cherry and wild raspberry fruit layered with dried florals, spice and earthy mineral undertones. Craggy Range’s restrained winemaking approach, including careful small-batch fermentation and thoughtful oak maturation, preserves the vineyard’s aromatic purity and structural finesse. The palate is finely textured and energetic, combining supple tannins with bright natural acidity and savoury complexity. There is an underlying mineral tension that gives the wine both shape and persistence without sacrificing elegance. Subtle oak integration adds depth while allowing the site’s distinctive personality to remain at the forefront. Poised and expressive, this is a Pinot Noir that balances immediacy with sophistication, offering excellent drinking in its youth while retaining the structure to evolve beautifully over time.
