| 13 Craggy Range: MCL Construction VITICULTURE T T to page 14 Although vineyards and wine rightly paint images of conviviality, romance and warmth, the risks and work required to succeed through consistent quality are highly demanding. In Hawkes Bay, Craggy Range grows Syrah, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot on 85 hectares, while Te Muna grows Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Pinot Gris on 250 hectares, with the first plantings in 1999. Although vineyards and wine rightly paint images of conviviality, romance and warmth, the risks and work required to succeed through consistent quality are highly demanding, David says. “It’s taken a long time, but now it’s finally starting to pay off. We’ve always strived to make the best wine possible, and that’s what we’ve become known for now. It’s very cost intensive and a lot of hard work to do that, but if you persevere it will eventually pay off.” “We had some major accolades at the beginning of our journey from our 2005 vintage in particular, which would have been from six or seven year old vines. We’ve had these beautiful intense flavours right from the start, but as those vineyards have aged, the nuance, the complexity, the balance have continued to improve.” Recent upgrades Due to unceasing demand for one of New Zealand’s finest culinary experiences, Craggy Range Restaurant has been undergoing major upgrades and additions. Located in the stunning setting of Craggy Range’s Hawkes Bay winery against the backdrop of Te Mata Peak, later this year Craggy Range Restaurant will be complemented by a new upstairs dining space dubbed The Loft at Craggy Range.
