Enquire about availabilityTasting notes
The 2017 Te Muna Road Vineyard Pinot Noir weighs in shy of 13% alcohol, so it's not surprising that it comes across as slightly underripe, with herbal shadings on the nose, tart strawberry and cranberry fruit flavors and a crisply acidic finish. For all that, the tannins are remarkably ripe and silky textured, and the fruit is admirably concentrated, so perhaps this will come around in a few years' time. Try cellaring it until 2023 and check back in on it then.

About this wine
Craggy Range - Te Muna - Pinot Noir
Craggy Range's Te Muna Pinot Noir is a wine that is sure to impress even the most discerning of wine connoisseurs. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Te Muna vineyard, which is located in the Martinborough region of New Zealand. The vineyard is known for its unique terroir, which is characterized by its stony soils and cool climate. These conditions give the grapes a distinct flavour profile that is unlike any other Pinot Noir in the world.
The taste profile of this wine is complex and layered, with notes of dark cherry, blackberry, and plum. These fruit flavours are complemented by hints of spice, vanilla, and oak, which add depth and complexity to the wine. The tannins are firm and well-structured, giving the wine a long and satisfying finish.
Craggy Range is a producer that is known for its commitment to quality and sustainability. The winery was founded in 1997 by Terry Peabody, an American businessman who fell in love with the beauty and potential of New Zealand's wine regions. Since then, Craggy Range has become one of the most respected wineries in the country, producing wines that are consistently praised for their elegance and finesse.
This Pinot Noir is a wine that is best enjoyed with food, particularly dishes that feature rich, savoury flavours. It pairs well with roasted meats, game, and hearty stews. It is also a wine that can be enjoyed on its own, perhaps while sitting by a roaring fire on a cold winter's night.
