[SOLD-OUT] Craggy Range Le Sol Syrah 2019

 

"Dense, intense and complex syrah that combines power and finesse. A deep, dark wine with a heady perfume and dark berry, plum, violet and pepper-spice flavours. Clearly a wine worth cellaring, although it is deliciously drinkable now." - Bob Campbell MW

 

"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.

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." - Craggy Range
