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 and Cabernet Sauvignon 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 2021 release with three rave reviews from critics at The Real Review…
97/100 (Bob Campbell MW)
“A blend of merlot and cabernet franc from the Gimblett Gravels district. Beautifully scented wine with intense cherry/berry, dark-fleshed plum, a suggestion of floral and spicy French oak flavours. Well-structured wine with gently mouthwatering acidity and an impressively lengthy finish. Should age well”
