2022 Les Beaux Cailloux

Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay

Powerful | Brioche | Mineral

Sourced from a single block, Les Beaux Cailloux, meaning “the beautiful pebbles”, is our purest and most refined expression of Chardonnay. It reflects our winemaking philosophy more than the region around it, showcasing a style defined by minerality, savouriness, and energy. These distinctive qualities arise from the block’s unique concentration of stones and our meticulous, single-block approach to vineyard management and winemaking.

Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay

In the heart of Hawke’s Bay, the Gimblett Gravels wine-growing district is one of the most prized terroirs in New Zealand - and Craggy Range is proud to be among its earliest champions.

Formed by the shifting path of the Ngaruroro River over 150 years ago, the Gimblett Gravels is defined by its free-draining stony soils and warm, sun-soaked days. These unique conditions produce wines of remarkable depth, structure, and complexity - particularly Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, for which the region is now world-renowned, along with Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Craggy Range’s Gimblett Gravels Vineyard consistently delivers some of our most iconic wines, including the celebrated Le Sol, and Sophia. Each vintage is a reflection of our meticulous approach to single-site winemaking and our commitment to expressing the character of the land.
