Craggy's answer to Chardonnay from Chablis: not too heavily oaked and cooler on the palate, with a sophisticated mineral focus.


Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Brilliant, bright light yellow to pale lime. Vibrant aromatics of green citrus peel, white florals, and oyster shells. Undeniable complex. The palate is fresh, clean and focused. Grapefruit pith and kaffir lime leaf notes with a savoury envelope. The wine offers fantastic detail and a satisfying finish."

93/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Showing a light, crisp perfume, with a salinity that shows on the nose – oyster shell, green olive, lime, dried pineapple, white peach and lemon curd. Lightly oaked, with just a hint of almond and breadcrumbs adding warmth to the medium-bodied palate. Acidity is linear and threaded throughout, carrying the mouth-watering sensation into a chalky finish of some finesse."


Joelle Thomson, drinksbiz Magazine, April/May 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"The evocatively named Kidnapper’s Chardonnay takes its name from Hawke’s Bay’s dramatic headland of Cape Kidnappers. It is made with grapes grown at Te Awanga, where the cool coastal breezes enhance Chardonnay’s acidity and fresh flavours, translating here to a medium-bodied, crisp style with ripe peach aromas and complex layered aromas of cedar and spice."


5 Stars & 95/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, August 2021 (2021 Vintage)
"Delicious chardonnay with appealing purity and white peach, oyster shell, lemon curd and cashew nut flavours supported by ethereal acidity that gives the wine energy and a lingering finish. Vibrant, high-energy chardonnay."


94/100 Jamie Goode, WineAnorak.com, August 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Located in Te Awanga near the coast. This is bright and energetic with pear and green apple, as well as some citrus pith notes. Nice dynamic range with lemony brightness, good acidity, but also some mid-palate richness showing a touch of peachy fruit. Rounded finish. Give this time."
