What The Critics Say...

Wine Enthusiast 92 point rating editor's choice

Craggy’s latest vintages are vibrant, succulent, delicious creatures, as well demonstrated by this Sauvignon. Bright and aromatic, it exudes passion fruit, lime blossom, ruby grapefruit and grass. The palate is dry, crisp and slippery, with juicy citrus and dried herbs. This is everything we love about Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, wrapped up with a bow on top. 92 Points, Editor’s Choice.
