Craggy Range Winery 'elevated their mana' by backtracking on controversial Te Mata Peak walking trackSUPPLIED The walking and mountain bike track on the eastern face of the peak, on land adjacent to Craggy Range Winery, was deemed to have "no more than minor" environmental effects by Hastings District Council. Ngāti Kahungunu chairman Ngahiwi Tomoana was angry about the track cut on Te Mata Peak. "They've elevated their mana, the mana of their people, the mana of the Hawke's Bay, and the mana of the landscape," he said. DELWYN DICKEY Environmental Defence Society chief executive Gary Taylor says Craggy Range Winery did the "right thing". Te Mata Peak is not only sacred, it is the top tourist attraction in Hawke's Bay and it's been quite literally butchered," she said.
