One of the country's finest Syrah wines and a top offering from Hawkes Bay legends, Craggy Range. This absolute classic offers deep but elegant black fruits and spice, layered with salty licorice and savoury depths. Vibrant yet perfectly weighted, this is everything one could hope for from this top Kiwi red. Stocks will fly!
Its Origins
Craggy Range began with the desire to create a legacy. When Terry Peabody visited New Zealand in 1997 he was introduced to Steve Smith, MW. Terry sensed an exciting possibility in New Zealand; the exceptional climate and spirit of the people aligned with his own philosophy and desire to cut a new path. He wanted to create wines that would become internationally regarded as New World classics. The two men made an important decision from the beginning - to select and source the best land in the country, and to plant the vines perfectly suited to that soil and climate. The winery - one of the most technically advanced ever built in New Zealand - is known for uncompromising standards and meticulous craftsmanship.
What The Critics Say
95/100 Andrew Caillard MW
"Medium crimson. Intense redcurrant, red cherry, blackberry, roasted walnut aromas with red liquorice notes. Inky wine with ample red currant red cherry fruits, some roasted walnut, vanilla, marzipan notes, fine looseknit chalky textures and underlying flinty naunces, Finishes chalky/ al dente at the finish with persistent red cherry, vanilla notes. Still in parts but the fruit and oak should fold in time. A very well made wine showing high quality craftmanship."
