(2024 Vintage) From the Te Muna Road vineyard in Martinborough, for me, this is one of the very best Pinots we have seen from this legendary winery. Love it. 15% whole bunches are incorporated, with wild yeasts used, and maturation in French oak barriques, 24% new. The colour is a vibrant dark cherry/purple. The nose reveals notes of truffles, cassis, bay leaves, spices, a hint of milk chocolate and leaf litter. A silky texture, there is superb balance here, fine acidity, satiny tannins and excellent length, with the intensity maintained for the full journey. A wonderful Pinot for enjoying over the next decade.

(2024 Vintage)Taut, ripe, textured and delicious, a wine that reflects both the vineyard and region. A focused palate of dark cherry and baked red berry fruits, some dark plum and fruit spice, balanced measure of oak and lengthy finish. The mineral layer suggests baked brown and stone soil. Well made with plenty of length and definition. Best from 2027 through 2031+.

"Off the back of two difficult vintages, 2024 was, thankfully, a triumph. It shows in this bottling, for while this may be the less costly of Craggy's two top Pinots, it punches above its weight. A succulent combo of strawberry and blackberry with whispers of licorice, violets and dried herbs, there's ripeness and generosity that the previously cool vintages struggled to achieve, with plump, mouth-filling dark fruit flavors and fine sandpapery tannins. Youthful and still quite primary, it should age nicely over the next several years."

(2024 Vintage) "Deep crimson. Quite closed on the nose currently. Dark, purple-fruited expression with blackcurrant, blueberry and black cherry wrapped in woodsmoke, cardamom and clove. Dense and compact. The palate is very primary too, showing good concentration of ripe purple fruit all across the mid-palate before easing towards something more floral and spicy on the finish. Fine grained, late tannins sit just beneath the dollop of fruit. Very well made with plenty of promise, this young wine will relax and unfold over the next year or two. Its flavoursome mid-weight finish promises several years of evolution as it gains complexity and breadth 21 Aug 2025." Drink 2026 - 2034
