Craggy Range Le Sol

Craggy Range Le Sol (French for ‘the soil’) is arguably New Zealand’s finest Syrah. Heck, you won’t catch us arguing otherwise! With a glowing international reputation and a history of critic scores that leaves jaws dropped this is quite simply a must-have for any keen collector. That’s if you can lay your mits on a bottle, global demand massively outstrips supply every release!

This is the 2021 Craggy Range Le Sol release and it’s absolutely no surprise to see it get near a perfect score straight out of the blocks…

97/100 (Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review)
“Inky, intense colour with great aroma depth and flavours suggesting cassis, dark-fleshed plum, dark chocolate, black pepper, violets and concentrated berries. Powerful wine that is built for the long haul with an impressive structure of fine, ripe, powdery tannins that balance fruit sweetness.”

Le Sol is produced using Syrah fruit from a heritage clone brought to New Zealand in the 1840s, aged for 17 months in 38% new oak. This is a stunner. Cellar for 10-25 years from vintage.
