Craggy Range Gimblett Gravels Vineyard Hawke’s Bay Syrah 2024

Gimblett Gravels Syrah, Shiraz this side of the ditch, continues to excite and seems to get better vintage after vintage. From a single vineyard, the colour here is a gleaming mauve/magenta. It is immediately apparent that the intensity of this well-balanced wine not only runs the full journey, but never wavers. The aromas include notes of leather, truffles, mulberries, black cherries, charcuterie, coffee grinds and an array of spices, with even a flick of pepper. The wine is taut, poised and offers a supple texture with fine balance. There really is such impressive length to this wine. For enjoying over the next fifteen years.
