Top 12 Gimblett Gravels 2022 Annual Vintage Selection by Andrew Caillard MW

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"'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. These parcels are hand harvested in several passes during the growing season and only the best bunches selected for this rare cuvee. Rich evocative yet still refined. 'Le Sol' will reward cellaring for at least a decade fom vinatge."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"What can I say, but – delicious, complex and another delicious wine from the Craggy Range stable. A bouquet and palate of purity and complexity, myriad red berry fruit flavours set in a frame of texture and complexity. Textures from an abundance of ripe polished tannins and equally ripe acidity, a silky touch. Flavours of dark raspberry and blue fruits, a whisper of leather then a mix of new and older barrel complexity layering in flavours of toasted kitchen spices and smoke. Well made and lengthy with best drinking from 2025 through 2035."

Joelle Thomson, drinksbiz Magazine August/September 2024 (2022 Vintage)
" 'Le Sol' translates from French as 'the soil' and this top Syrah from Craggy Range comes from Hawke's Bay's renowned Gimblett Gravels, where the stony ground absorbs, retains and reflects the warmth of the sun back onto the vines to aid the ripening process. The result is a powerful, deeply coloured Syrah that gains structure from a portion of whole bunch fermentation, complexity from the use of wild yeasts, and smooth, round appeal from extended barrel ageing pre-bottling. This is an exceptional wine and among the pinnacle of Syrahs in New Zealand. Le Sol forms part of the Prestige Collection from Craggy Range."

5 Stars & 97/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, November 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"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. Perhaps a little closed at this stage but full of promise"

17+/20 JancisRobinson.com, February 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Deep crimson. Appetising. Juicy and very good tannin management. Dry finish but very bright and promising. Really quite seductive and complex. Very youthful and dry on the end."
