ADD TO FAVOURITES

Elephant Hill is all about quality. From their award winning restaurant (now closed), winery building and of course to their wines. We just love the Le Phant Rouge because it's just so deliciously drinkable with gorgeous fruit and a lovely spice element coming through from the Syrah. All up it's a juicy, round and mouthfilling blend that shows Hawkes Bay red at its accessible best.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"A proprietary estate red blend sourced mainly from the warm, inland soils of Bridge Pa Triangle and Gimblett Gravels. Plummy Merlot and spicy Syrah dominant notes combine to create a juicy and moreish drinkability.

44% Merlot, 42% Syrah, 13% Malbec and 1% Tempranillo create a unique blend with each variety adding extra character and complexity to the wine. 60% tank aged, 40% barrel aged in older, seasoned French oak for 17 months on lees."

92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Immediately enticing bouquet and palate filled with flavours of spicy plum skin and flesh, black berry and some black currant, there’s a layer of cocoa and baking spices reflecting some oak and toasty barrel. Polished tannins and acidity frame the core fruit and spice flavours perfectly. Balanced, well made and ready from early 2025 through 2030."

91/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Delightfully fruited and inviting, the wine shows sweet cherry, dark plum, rich floral, clove and roasted nut aromas on the nose, followed by a silky-smooth palate delivering plump mouthfeel combined with silky texture and polished tannins. Attractively composed with a lengthy, elegant finish. At its best: now to 2030."
