Craggy Range Sophia

Craggy Range Sophia (Sophia means ‘wisdom’ in Greek mythology) is up there with New Zealand’s finest Bordeaux blend reds.

Using Craggy’s finest Merlot (79%), Cabernet Franc (14%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (7%) fruit from the Gimblett Gravels, no corners are cut and no expense spared in producing this iconic, cellar worthy red!

With a glowing international reputation and a history of critic scores that leaves jaws dropped this is quite simply a must-have for any keen collector. That’s if you can lay your mits on a bottle, global demand massively outstrips supply every release!

This is the extremely classy 2024 release with three rave reviews from critics at The Real Review…

96/100 (Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review)
“Packed with dense layers of blackberry, blackcurrant, truffle, leather and smoky oak, this brooding and backward red is seriously concentrated and structured….One for the long haul, yet it should be approachable on the earlier side, if desired, especially if oak doesn’t bother you. Serious stuff.

94/100 (James Suckling)
“A well-made Bordeaux blend with black currant, chocolate and light coffee bean undertones. It’s medium-bodied with polish and candor showing the quality of the merlot and cabernets in the stone soils of Gimblett Gravels.”

95/100 (Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion)
“I tell you what, these 2024 Gimblett Gravel wines are pretty damn impressive.”

95/100 (Andrew Caillard MW)
“A singular claret style with lovely depth, richness and vigour.”

What a wine. Cellar for 10-15 years from vintage.
