Gimblett Gravels Merlot 2021

Craggy Range is an iconic family owned winery established in 1997 and situated in the shadow of the spectacular Te Mata Peak in the premium wine growing area of Hawke’s Bay New Zealand.

Our Gimblett Gravels Merlot is carefully selected from parcels of merlot in our Gimblett Gravels Vineyard. The warm, gravelly soils are perfect for the production of Merlot and the moderate heat allows the wine to retain freshness and structure without showing over-ripe characters. Deep garnet with youthful purple hues. Complex and varietal aromatic array of black doris plum, ripe cherry, wooden spices and finely toasted oak. Seductive and luscious on approach the wine has a pure fruit core with fine dusty tannins finishing long and dry.
