Pinot Noir "Aroha"
Aroha is a romantic word in Maori, meaning love. Reflective of its namesake, Aroha is handcrafted with passion from unique parcels of Pinot Noir grown on the upper terrace of the Te Muna Road Vineyard in Martinborough. The pedigree of particular blocks is paramount to the quality of this wine. At over 20 years of age, the balance in the best blocks, identified by a narrow band of clay over stone, straddles that line between power and beauty. A traditional burgundy in colour with a soft crimson hue. This is a very savoury Aroha with chanterelle mushroom and white truffle aromas dominating the bouquet. The palate is lively and pure, focusing towards a red fruit core, whilst the tannins are prevalent but balanced. The concentration of flavour is high as a result of the low yield. Plenty of personality in a wine that will continue to soften with age.

Craggy Range is a family owned winery established in 1998. It is situated in the shadow of the spectacular Te Mata Peak in the premium wine growing area of Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.
