Description

Voted as the 5th Top Winery in Huon Hookes Real Review, Craggy Range is an icon of Hawkes Bay and a beacon of quality for the region. As the winery outlines: "'Le Sol' (the soil) is made in only the best years from Syrah grown in the stoniest parts of our Gimblett Gravels Vineyard in Hawke's Bay." The result is a Syrah that is distinctive and evocative of the region. It's a hauntingly good wine that is spicy, seductive and thought-provoking. One for the cellar, we suggest, and give it a few years as it's only just starting to blossom in its youth.

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. Le Sol is always aromatically pure with a luscious yet elegant mid-palate and a distinctive fine tannin finish.
