Craggy Range Aroha Pinot Noir 2023
‘Aroha’ means ‘love’ in te reo Māori. True to its name, Aroha is handcrafted with passion from the finest Pinot Noir parcels of Craggy Range's estate-owned Te Muna Vineyard in Martinborough.
With vines over 20 years old, its balance comes from a unique clay-over-stone soil, delivering a harmony of power and beauty.
Focused on fine tannins and extended barrel aging, Aroha offers a velvet texture and remarkable length, aiming to stand among the finest Pinot Noirs worldwide.
Bright burgundy in colour, with a soft crimson hue. The perfume is lifted and pure—a cool-season bouquet of dried cherry, lavender and hints of wild thyme.
The palate shows a fine-boned structure, with red fruits taking a more restrained and precise form. It is a poised and elegant Aroha release, showing subtle depth and graceful approachability in its youth.
