HAWKE'S BAY, NEW ZEALAND Nov 20, 2024 /AsiaNet=연합뉴스/-- Craggy Range Winery announces its 2023 Te Muna, Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc has earned a coveted spot in Wine Spectator's prestigious Top 100 Wines of 2024, marking another milestone in the winery's remarkable 26-year journey of excellence and further cementing the reputation of this exceptional wine.
This recognition from one of the world's most influential wine publications is particularly significant given Craggy Range Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc's consistent excellence, having achieved ten consecutive vintages scoring 90 points or higher from Wine Spectator. The annual Top 100 list, published since 1988, celebrates wines that demonstrate exceptional quality, value, and availability while embodying what the publication's editors call the "X-factor" - wines that generate particular excitement and passion.
"The inclusion of our Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc in Wine Spectator's Top 100 is a testament to our team's dedication to expressing the unique character of our Martinborough terroir," says newly appointed Executive Director, David Peabody. "Our Sauvignon Blanc showcases the remarkable complexity born from the unique, rugged terroir of our Te Muna Road Vineyard. The combination of stony soils and cool sunny days gives us the distinctive minerality, along with the brisk howling winds that thicken the grape skins, resulting in an unparalleled depth of flavour."
Founded in 1998 by Terry and Mary Peabody, Craggy Range has consistently demonstrated an innovative approach to viticulture and winemaking. The Te Muna Road Vineyard, the source of this acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc, was specifically chosen for its unique soil composition and cool climate, contributing to the wine's distinctive mineral character and exceptional aging potential. Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc is exceptionally food-friendly, with bright acidity, low residual sugar, and a more complex palate than typical New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs.
The winery's governance under a 1000-year family trust ensures a long-term perspective that influences every decision and instils a culture of stewardship. This latest accolade joins an impressive list of honours, including:
- 2014 Wine Enthusiast, New World Winery of the Year
- Listed in the World's Best Vineyards Ranking (2019-2024)
- Named on Drinks International's World's Most Admired Brands (2019-2024)
- The Real Review's Winery of the Year - New Zealand (2023)
- Global Winner, Great Wine Capitals ? Best of Wine Tourism Awards (2025)
- No 11 on the 2024 Wine Spectator Top 100 List - 2023 Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc
The selection for Wine Spectator's Top 100 underscores Craggy Range's dedication to excellence and innovation in winemaking, while maintaining a deep respect for their terroir and sustainable practices that will preserve their legacy for generations to come.
