James Suckling
Review Date: 11/2020This has such a floral, fragrant and perfumed nose with sliced-pear and melon aromas, as well as very fresh, fleshy flavors on the palate. This has such a pure, gently honeyed, pear and melon-flavored palate. Refined and refreshing. Drink now.

Notes
Craggy Range is located in the Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing district of New Zealand but brings in fruit from a several estate vineyards. Kidnappers Vineyard is located on the Hawke's Bay coastline at Te Awanga. Winery tasting notes: "Pale lime to pale straw. Subtle, yet definitive aromas of lime zest and grapefruit pulp with hints of brioche and fresh cashews. The palate has saline acidity that carries the citrus notes from nose to mouth. The savoury complexity provides the perfect counter-point for a Chardonnay that truly reflects its maritime origins."
