Craggy Range

Hawke's Bay Cabernet, Pinot Noir, and Syrah with critical recognition.

Craggy Range operates in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand's North Island, where warm days and cooling maritime influences shape the terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship expressions that have drawn assessment from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. Gimblett Gravels The Quarry—a Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon blend—anchors the range, alongside Pinot Noir Block 16, which showcases the region's capacity for the variety. A Shiraz/Syrah from Gimblett Gravels, Le Sol, rounds out the core offerings. Hawke's Bay's gravelly soils and continental climate support both the structure and ripeness these wines display, from the darker fruit and tannin architecture of the Bordeaux blend to the silky texture characteristic of cool-climate Pinot Noir.
