‘Sophia’ -- meaning ‘wisdom’ in Greek mythology -- pays tribute to the goddess of knowledge and experience, information and understanding - a philosophy adopted by the winemakers and viticulturists at Craggy Range when crafting this special wine. The Merlot-dominated blend is a dark garnet colour. Beautifully lifted and complex aromas of spiced red fruits, crushed autumn leaves and sandalwood. Classically composed on the palate with fruit richness given length by balanced acidity and fine dusty tannins. It finishes elegant, dry and long. This could cellar for up to 20 years and is a great pairing for beef.


Craggy Range is a family owned winery established in 1998. It is situated in the shadow of the spectacular Te Mata Peak in the premium wine growing area of Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. The winery produces a collection of iconic wines noted for their amazing aromatics, purity, and complexity. These wines are pure expressions of the unique terroir in which they were grown. The Family Collection, which includes “Aroha” Pinot Noir, “Le Sol” Syrah and “Sophia,” a Merlot-dominated Bordeaux blend, are some examples of their best reserve wines for very special occasions.
