Craggy Range Pinot Noir – a labour of love

The romantic connotation with Pinot Noir wines is strong, and this unique wine from Craggy Range’s Te Muna Road Vineyard represents the significance of this piece of land and a labour of love with this most humbling variety. The fruit is grown at the Te Muna Road vineyard, where an ancient dried riverbed delivered nutrient-rich soil perfect for growing Pinot Noir. Ripe tannins, vibrant and deep colour, excellent acid retention and intense flavours of morello cherry, with complex notes of fresh truffle and wet earth, see this Pinot Noir as a wine to watch.
