Craggy Range Le Sol Syrah 2021 750ml

Craggy Range Le Sol 750ml

97/100 (Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review)
“Inky, intense colour with great aroma depth and flavours suggesting cassis, dark-fleshed plum, dark chocolate, black pepper, violets and concentrated berries. Powerful wine that is built for the long haul with an impressive structure of fine, ripe, powdery tannins that balance fruit sweetness.”

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.

TASTING NOTES

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

Alc: 13%
