If tropical fruit aromas, with botanical notes and touches of minerality are your thing, we have good news for you! You just found the wine of your dreams. The Sauvignon Blanc Te Muna - Craggy Range is so delicious that once you try it, your palate will clap!
The man behind this wine is Terry Peabody, who, together with his wife Mary, in 1993 decided to create a family inheritance, with the intention of passing it on to the next generations. Teddy didn't just want to buy vineyards, but to grow his own, on completely bare land, so as to ensure excellent quality from the vine to the winemaking process. He started searching land in America and France, but fortune led him to the land of mountains, fire and ice! The winery was established in New Zealand in 1998, at the foothills of Martinborough's impressive Te Mata peak, in the famous Hawke's Bay wine region. In that area, the gravelly, volcanic and clayey soils, and this of course, has stigmatized this wine!
For Sauvignon Blanc Te Muna - Craggy Range, 10% of the grapes were fermented in whole bunches (whole bunch method), contributing to its special character. Fermentation was done with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks and French barriques (only 3% are new). The wine matured there for 3 months, acquiring its elegant texture and explosive aromas!
Our last word is the 94pts from Wine Spectator! Besides that, the wine speaks for itself and you will definitely ask for more!
