2022 Craggy Range Kidnappers Vineyard Chardonnay Hawke's Bay New Zealand 6pk 6x750ml

Founded in 1998 by Terry and Mary Peabody, Craggy Range has built a legacy producing exceptional wines from New Zealand's most distinguished sites. The family established a 1,000-year trust to ensure the winery remains under family stewardship for generations — three generations work together today.

Kidnappers Vineyard sits in Hawke's Bay, one of New Zealand's most respected Chardonnay regions — a place that delivers wines with the richness of New World fruit and the structure you'd expect from Burgundy. This is cool-climate Chardonnay with genuine depth, sourced from coastal vineyards that catch the maritime influence and diurnal swings that keep the fruit taut and minerally.

The 2022 vintage delivered bright, focused fruit with natural acidity. The wine shows apple, lemon curd, and nutty minerality on the nose, with a reductive struck-match note and sea spray. On the palate it's spicy, tangy, and mouth-wateringly long — elegant Chardonnay with the kind of tension that makes it interesting to drink.
