My first biodynamic wine. Kind of restrained on the nose, strong minerality. Mineraliy continues on the palate with notes of banana. Very good, but very different from other chardonnay. Im really not sure if I love it or hate it. Quite bizarre. Simplicity, strong flavours focussed straight down the mid palate with razor sharp acidity.

Intensly floral aromas, coupled with sandalwood and blackcurrant. Continues on in the palate. Well rounded and incredibly smooth. Very concentrated without being cloying or heavy.

Very pale, almost completely clear. This wine is hardly varietal. Alcohol a little high on the back end and a phenolic attack on the front. I would almost have guessed viognier or sauvignon blanc had it been blind. That said it is a pleasant enough wine. But only pleasant. Craggy Range seem to have mastered the style of red wines rather than white.
