Craggy Range Vineyards Ltd |
It's a great story. The genesis of Craggy Range Winery began in 1987, when Steve Smith was smitten by a small parcel of land in the Tukituki Valley, part of the Hawkes Bay winegrowing region. With one of New Zealands most beautiful (and best stocked) trout fishing rivers to the East and the massive symbolic escarpment of Te Mata Peak to the West, this place was indeed very special. The Craggy Range formed the backdrop to the site and close investigation of the soils showed a parcel with stony clay rich soils that were just perfect for producing a high quality single vineyard Chardonnay wine. This piece of land had it all and more - Craggy Range was a great name for a winery.
From the beginning, Craggy Range Winery has some great land and vineyards and a wonderful home in which to weave the strands together. The first wines made in the 1999 vintage are from small parcels of mature vineyards in Marlborough and Hawkes Bay. The wines show the character of the vineyards and the Craggy Range philosophy of wine both inside and outside the bottle. In time, as the vines mature on their own estates, the wines of CRAGGY RANGE WINERY will without doubt express their origin and the commitment and skill of their people. |
