Reds are what the Gimblett Gravels does best. The stones hold the day's heat and give it back over two or three hours into the evening, so the fruit ripens further than the season alone would allow and comes in with more concentration and a softer natural acidity.
That extra ripening is what carries Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet, Malbec and Cabernet Franc here. They run across every tier we make, from the estate wines off our own vineyard to the Instinct reds, our entry range.
Every New Zealand red wine we make is on this page. If you have not tasted ours before, start with the Gimblett Gravels wines.
