2024 Le Sol

Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay

Pure | Layered | Elegant

Le Sol, meaning “the soil”, is crafted from Syrah grown in the stoniest parts of our Gimblett Gravels Estate, planted to a heritage MS clone brought to New Zealand in the 1840's. Intensively hand-managed, guided by hand 13-14 times across the season. It is always aromatically pure, with a luscious yet elegant mid-palate and a distinctive fine-tannin finish.

Rich, evocative, yet refined, Le Sol has evolved since its first release to achieve that balance between intense yet floral Syrah in its purest form. The longevity of this wine is never in doubt; however, there is an increasing approachability upon release, so its beauty can be appreciated now while also anticipating future occasions when it will truly shine.

This release is available to our Prestige Wine Club members only.

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.
