Craggy Range Le Sol 2020
$175.00
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 and dark Syrah with purple hues. Le Sol is always aromatically pure with a luscious yet elegant mid-palate and a distinctive fine tannin finish.
VARIETAL 100% Syrah
TASTING NOTE:
Deep and dark with a purple hue. An overwhelming presence that suggests this wine will live to be iconic. The nose is flush with mulberry, violets, lavender, and cocoa. The palate, whilst
obviously young and vibrant with taut tannins, is complex, deep, and intoxicating – so much dark, black fruit, changing with every mouthfeel.
