A blend of 63% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec, the 2016 Te Kahu Gimblett Gravels Vineyard features hints of tobacco ash on the nose, along with plenty of plummy, almost blueberry-like fruit. Cedar and vanilla slot quietly into the backdrop of this medium-bodied wine, folding into the silky texture and emerging mostly on the supple finish.

About this wine
Craggy Range - Gimblett Gravels - Te Kahu
Craggy Range's Gimblett Gravels Te Kahu is a rich and complex red wine that is perfect for those who enjoy a full-bodied and intense flavour profile. This wine is made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec grapes, which are grown in the Gimblett Gravels region of Hawke's Bay, New Zealand.
The Gimblett Gravels region is known for its unique soil composition, which is made up of gravel and stones that were deposited by the Ngaruroro River thousands of years ago. This soil, combined with the warm and dry climate of the region, creates the perfect conditions for growing high-quality grapes that produce rich and complex wines like Te Kahu.
On the palate, Te Kahu is full-bodied and rich, with flavours of blackcurrant, plum, and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm and well-structured, providing a long and satisfying finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with hearty meat dishes, such as roast lamb or beef, or with strong cheeses like blue cheese or aged cheddar.
Craggy Range is a family-owned winery that was founded in 1997 with the goal of producing world-class wines that showcase the unique terroir of New Zealand. The winery is located in the shadow of the Te Mata Peak in Hawke's Bay, and is committed to sustainable and environmentally-friendly winemaking practices.
Whether you're enjoying a special occasion or simply looking for a delicious and complex wine to enjoy with dinner, Craggy Range's Gimblett Gravels Te Kahu is sure to impress. So why not pour yourself a glass, sit back, and savour the rich and complex flavours of this exceptional wine?
