Craggy Range Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 95/100

A delicious wine with the signature of place firmly stamped in the bouquet - aromas of clay and silty soils framing fruit scents of white pineapple and cape gooseberry then fresh grapefruit and peach. On the palate a dry wine with ... satin texture and backbone of acidity framing fruit flavours and mineral. Well made and ready to drink from 2025 through 2030. Excellent. (Cameron Douglas, MS,camdouglasms.com,July 20, 2025) MINE: Craggy Range's Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc from Martinborough, North Island is a vibrant, medium-bodied white wine offering notes of ripe guava, golden kiwi, Meyer lemon, and nectarine. This dry wine reveals a flinty edge and smooth, rounded texture that will continue to evolve over the next five years. Serve it well chilled with grilled calamari, where the wine’s bright acidity lifts the charred seafood, or pair it with fish tacos, as the wine’s juicy mid-palate complements the fresh toppings. Winemaker Matt Stafford crafts this wine with a clear sense of place, expressing gravelly earth tones alongside papaya and citrus blossom, shaped by coastal freshness and a hint of wild herb nuance. Its lively structure and refreshing drive make it exceptionally food-friendly. This polished, expressive Sauvignon Blanc represents outstanding quality and will drink beautifully through 2030. NEW: Winemaker Matt Stafford farms this Sauvignon Blanc in Martinborough, a cooler, more gravelly site than Marlborough's famous vineyards. White guava and a touch of orange zest greet you first, a saline edge close by. Rich and layered, the finish runs long. Serve it with grilled calamari or fish tacos.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: grilled calamari, salads topped with herbed goat cheese, fish tacos.

Scrumptious Seafood Wine
