2019 · Sauvignon Blanc, Te Muna

Craggy Range is a family-owned New Zealand estate in Hawke’s Bay, founded in 1998 by Terry and Mary Peabody with Steve Smith MW and protected by a 1,000-year family trust that ensures multigenerational stewardship. Working from vineyards on the slopes of Te Mata Peak and the plains of Gimblett Gravels, it focuses on limited-quantity, single-vineyard wines shaped by distinct soils and microclimates. Sustainability is central to the estate, with a transition to fully organic farming by 2030, alongside biodynamic and regenerative practices and extensive native tree planting. Ben Tombs became Chief Winemaker in 2023.
