Few wines resonate with Spring like a refreshing, fragrant Sauvignon Blanc, but Craggy Range's "Te Muna Road" really explodes! Aside from being a long-time staple at Hi-Time, the 2023 vintage holds the #11 spot on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2024... not bad for a wine that we offer at $19.98!
Craggy Range is family-owned estate in Martinborough, on New Zealand's North Island just across the strait from the South Island's more familiar Marlborough region. Here, their Sauvignon Blanc is distinguished by being bright and light on its feet while sporting a delicious textural fleshiness. Wild temperature swings and sunny skies make for an explosion of electric aromas and flavors! It goes beyond the grapefruit bombs from the supermarket, as herbs and flowers, bright lemon and warm tropical fruits, and a mouthwatering minerality stream out in detailed intensity. This wine already flies out the store, so you might want to get a few to last through Summer!
