Craggy Range "Te Muna Road" Sauvignon Blanc Martinborough

Craggy Range "Te Muna Road" Sauvignon Blanc Martinborough

Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand

Vintage: 2020
Description: 95 points Bob Campbell. A 20% drop in yield has resulted in greater intensity. About 12% barrel-fermented. Typical Te Muna wet stone, saline, lime, citrus and blackcurrant bud flavours. Deliciously tangy acid gives a mouth-watering finish. (10/2020) 93 points Vinous. The Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc comes from a terrace a few kilometers outside of Martinborough township. This area is higher, more exposed and marginally cooler than the vineyards in town, which brings even greater risks but greater rewards for its makers. This example has lovely sinew, offering tension and precision from start to finish, and providing purpose and long length. There are subtle steely aromas that sit in the green and citrus spectrum rather than overt tropical fruit; expect honeydew melon, grass, beeswax and lemon flavors. Very nicely done. (11/2020) 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. The latest vintage of Craggy Range's popular 2020 Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc offers grassy, lime-scented aromas backed by plenty of grapefruit, hints of nectarine and even the suggestion of fig or guava. It's medium-bodied and subtly textural on the palate, finishing long, crisp and silky—probably the best vintage of this wine I can remember. (6/2021) K&L Notes. Ranked #6 on Bob Campbell's Top 2020 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 13.3 Abv.
