We are delighted once again to release our collection of Hawke’s Bay wines: the Merlot based blends, Syrah and Chardonnay.  Increasing vine age means most of our blocks of vines are settled and have found balance with their soils and conditions. As vine age increases be... more

It seems somewhat daunting to realise that the wines from the 2009 vintage mark the last vintage in the first decade of the 21st century.  I still remember the glory days of the new millennium, our first vintage from our own estates in 2001, and everything else in between ... more

2008 was a milestone vintage for Pinot Noir at Craggy Range. We have made excellent wines from each of our five diverse vineyard designated sites. It was a warm and balanced season in Central Otago, where we have three sites, two of these in the warm wind blown glacia... more
