Craggy Range is a New Zealand winery operating from multiple sites across the country's premier wine regions, with significant holdings in both Martinborough in Wairarapa and Hawke's Bay on the North Island. The winery focuses on single-vineyard expressions from carefully selected sites, including the renowned Gimblett Gravels subregion of Hawke's Bay, known for its unique heat-retaining stone soils.

Martinborough has established itself as one of New Zealand's most respected Pinot Noir regions, though the area also produces excellent Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Hawke's Bay, particularly the Gimblett Gravels district, represents New Zealand's premier red wine territory, where the free-draining gravelly soils and warm microclimate favor Bordeaux varieties and Syrah. These contrasting terroirs allow producers to work with both cool-climate and warm-climate grape varieties.

The current range demonstrates this regional diversity, spanning from Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc and Kidnappers Chardonnay to Gimblett Gravels red blends including Sophia, a Bordeaux-style blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, and Le Sol, a single-vineyard Syrah. The vineyard designations reflect the winery's focus on site-specific expressions from these distinctive New Zealand wine regions.
