We trust you’ll love our latest selection...
It’s an exciting time in the winemaking calendar as the buds have well and truly burst back into life after Winter dormancy. Our vineyard team have been keeping a watchful eye on the weather to protect the delicate new life of our 2025 grapes.
Our Spring shipment has been curated with warm breezy evenings in mind, showcasing some lighter new release wines and for those who love Le Sol, we have added some wonderful back vintages that are drinking well now but have the ability to age gracefully for another few years in your cellar. - Michael Bancks, Wine Experience Manager
Pinot Gris
TE MUNA RD, MARTINBOROUGH 2024
Bright pale yellow with a light green hue. Exploding with ripe aromatics of stone fruits, florals and spice. The palate has intense flavours of citrus peel and nashi pear with a lively, pithy length. A powerful and flavourful release.
A cooler Spring which moved to warm, dry Summer days and cooler nights. An iconic season.
DRINK NOW OR CELLAR FOR ONE TO FOUR YEARS
Bright, pale salmon in colour. Notes of floral, ripe melon and crushed stones lead the aromas. A disinct savoury thread, with ripe berries, pomegranate seeds and citrus peel. Moreish, glides across the palate, yet is bone dry and finishes with a clean, mineral line. A delicious and sophisticated release. Delayed budbreak from a cool, later winter. Mild Spring with wind, dampening yields. Warm, dry Summer period resulting in extended hangtime. An iconic season, concentrated yet fresh.

Syrah
GIMBLETT GRAVELS, HAWKE’S BAY 2022
Brilliant bright red with a purple hue. Crushed raspberry and cherries with a flicker of white pepper and baking spices extend from the glass. A fleshy palate, with notes of bloody red plum and dried florals offers so much succulence that invites that second glass.
A very warm, early Spring with minimal frosts. Transitioned to a warm Summer with several rain events post-Christmas, attesting to a typical La Nina season.
CELLAR FOR SEVEN TO TWELVE YEARS
Le Sol
GIMBLETT GRAVELS, HAWKE’S BAY 2011
Deep and dark with purple hues. Aromas of sweet blackberries are complemented by subtle hints of bark, cocoa and freshly cracked black pepper. On the palate an elegant core of black fruits is layered with dusty, dry tannin and refreshing acidity.
A warm Summer, attesting to a typical La Nina season.

Le Sol
GIMBLETT GRAVELS, HAWKE’S BAY 2014
Deepest red with a vibrant purple hue. Expressive cool climate Syrah with lifted notes of violets, fresh boysenberries, sandalwood and a hint of dried, peppered meat. The palate has a dense core of dark fruits beautifully integrated by acidity and fine, dusty tannins giving the wine a long, elegant feel towards the dry finish.
A very warm, dry season.
