About Craggy Range
Founded in 1998 by the Peabody Family, Craggy Range aspires to be a world-leading wine producer, creating a lasting legacy for future generations.
In 1993, Terry and Mary Peabody embarked on a mission to create a family legacy in wine. Their dream was to find a pristine site and build a world-class winery from the ground up. After exploring France, America, and Australia, they discovered the perfect location in New Zealand, captivated by its unique climate, rich agricultural history, and pioneering spirit.
Craggy Range vineyards and wines
New Zealand's unique climate and youthful soils offer ideal conditions for producing fresh, pure, and elegant wines. Terry Peabody and renowned viticulturist Steve Smith recognized this potential and sought out exceptional sites to create iconic New Zealand wines that truly express their terroir.
“We firmly believe that the wines of New Zealand can have a unique combination of fruit purity and flavour with considerable texture, elegance and balance.” Terry Peabody
And so they settled on the Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing district, an ancient river bed of the Ngaruroro River in Hawke’s Bay. The Gimblett Gravels Vineyard, a place of warmth, stone and sandy alluvial soils offered an ideal location to produce high quality red wines including Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
They then took their search to Martinborough, and more particularly, a spectacular piece of farmland in Te Muna Road. With two distinct terraces, the higher comprising of very old rocky clay-infused soils perfect for Pinot Noir. The lower terrace of younger gravelly soils interleaved with limestone allowed for a unique style of aromatic, minerally Sauvignon Blanc.
As the vineyards have matured over the years so have the wines. The winery was recognised in 2014 by renowned US publication Wine Enthusiast as ‘New World Winery of the Year’ with many of the wines also receiving notable accolades and awards. It is also listed amongst the "World's Best Vineyards".
To ensure a firm commitment, Terry Peabody honoured the original promise to his family of leaving a legacy for the family still to come and established a 1000 year trust, meaning the winery can never be sold.
