Craggy Range Martinborough Pinot Noir 2025 from Te Muna Road Vineyard in Wairarapa is a seriously seductive New Zealand Pinot – deep in colour, intensely perfumed and already decorated with major silverware, including Best in Show and 97 points at the 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards. It is a benchmark cool‑climate Pinot that marries power with real finesse and poise.

In the glass, Craggy Range Martinborough Pinot Noir 2025 is deeply hued, with lavish aromas of dark cherry, raspberry and plum wrapped in lavender, jasmine, sweet baking spice and exotic incense, all sitting over subtle smoky oak. The palate is silky and layered, a core of pure dark fruits flowing across the tongue with seamless, fine‑grained tannins, beautifully integrated oak and enlivening acidity that drives through to a long, refined, savoury finish.

This Martinborough Pinot Noir 2025 is a dream with roast duck, confit duck, lamb rump, venison, soy‑glazed pork belly or mushroom‑laden dishes, where its depth and spice really shine. It also works beautifully with richer salmon, beetroot‑based vegetarian plates and hard alpine cheeses, making it a versatile choice for everything from winter roasts to more refined dinner‑party fare.
