THE GATECRASHER
SAUVIGNON BLANC
2007

"At this price you'd be expecting something sensational and you'd absolutely get it. There is nothing like this on the market right now - it's crazy sauvignon blanc that's been crafted by Craggy Range's red winemaker Rod Easthope from his tiny Dartmoor Valley vineyard. It's got an amazing deep, brooding toastiness combined with hay and dried herbs. Minute quantities are available so if you think you're remotely adventurous then this is one wine your cellar definitely needs."  [Yvonne-Marie Lorkin; Hawke's Bay Today - 3 January 2009/48 Hours]

Aromatically, imagine mandarin zest, peach, cardamom, sage, lavender, ginger, marzipan and flint. On the palate - power, richness, weight and unparalleled length cut with a vein of sinuous steel - a wine that demands the taster's attention.
