2025 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Sauvignon Blanc Martinborough

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.

Martinborough sits on New Zealand's North Island, a cool-climate region that delivers Sauvignon Blanc with mineral tension and precision — the kind of structure and texture that separates serious examples from the generic tropical fruit bombs flooding the market. Te Muna Road is sourced from higher-elevation terraces where ancient stony soils and maritime influence produce wines with chalky minerality and taut acidity.

The 2025 vintage shows intense Key lime, lemongrass, and pear on the nose, with white nectarine, passionfruit, and blackcurrant leaf.

There's a jalapeno edge and fresh herbs, plus that chalky, wet-stone minerality that makes Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc compelling. The palate is concentrated and precise, with a tightly wound, mouth-watering acid line and a subtle creamy mid-palate from lees work.
