Craggy RangeTe Muna Pinot Noir
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot Noir
About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirThe unique terroir consisting of ancient stony soils allow the premier Pinot Noirs from Craggy Range to ripen gradually while still retaining perfect acid balance. This is on show perfectly in the Te Muna Road Pinot Noir that is sourced from the higher terrace on the Te Muna Road Estate which is planted with eight clones of Pinot in more than 40 different parcels. From this eclectic bunch the grapes are hand-picked and fermented naturally before spending eight months in French oak. The result is a Pinot of class and structure; dark and brooding with a texture not dissimilar to silk.

It’s nice and neat, polished and shiny. An effortless drink with good concentration of flavour, a sheen of woody spices, mahogany, clove, cedar, a lick of graphite through the finish. It’s distinguished pinot of a primped and preened nature. No x-factor, but like Lexus, it does luxury while dialling up something for everyone. In that, charm, a good glass packed with flavour, reserved and finessed. Nice.
