Posted @withregram • @hswineacademy Gimblett Gravels: Home of fine New Zealand wine.

The climate and soils here are perfect for red Bordeaux grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot but it LOVES Syrah and Chardonnay too.

We love dirt! Our famous soils are mostly ‘Omahu’. They have a fine sand to a fine loamy sand topsoil, overlying stony gravels mixed with varying proportions of sand, and horizontally bedded lenses of non stony sand between the stony layers #gimblettgravels ... See MoreSee Less

The soils in the Gimblett Gravels are so stony, that in 1988 a concrete company applied to mine a large chunk for gravel! Fortunately, our vignerons had a great legal result, ensuring the land was planted in vines 🍇 ... See MoreSee Less

Posted @withregram • @qtsommsclub Gimblett Gravels Annual Selection 2022

This vintage was a true test of resilience. Viticulturists worked tirelessly to produce ripe, clean fruit in a challenging wet year, whilewinemakers skillfully crafted wines that reflect the unique character of the season.

The blended reds, typically dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, showcase a wider variety of grapes this year, including higher portions of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Tempranillo.
The results are stunning. I was particularly impressed by the @churchroad1 Malbec,
@squawking_magpie The Nest,
@trinityhillwines The Gimblett.

The Syrah selection also demonstrates the winemakers’ skill in building texture and complexity. While not as powerful as in previous year, these Syrahs are beautifully crafted and enjoyable. The two wines from @stonecroftwinehb are exceptional examples of the vintage and the style.
