2014 Craggy Range Te Muna Road Pinot Noir, Martinborough

Pinot Noir is Martinborough’s most planted and certainly most acclaimed grape variety. The region’s warm, dry summers and mild winters have led to complex and structured wines with subtle aromatics and an elegant finish.

The success of Martinborough Pinot Noir has to a large extent driven the rapid development of this very dynamic and quality-focused region.
