Syrah "Le Sol"
Le Sol (French: the soil) is born of the renowned Gimblett Gravels viticultural appellation, with its gravelly soils attracting the sun in summer and insulating the vines in winter. The vines are planted in the stoniest parts of the vineyard to a heritage clone of Syrah brought to New Zealand in the 1840s. Intensively hand managed, the grapes reveal a deep dark Syrah with purple hues. Abundant sweet, black fruits lead the bouquet, notably boysenberry and blueberry aromas. The tannin structure of the wine is exemplary and seamless from start to finish. The wine shows considerable drinkability in its youth, and will improve over 15 - 20 years.
Craggy Range
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.
