Sourced from company owned Gimblett Gravels vineyards in the sub-region of Hawkes Bay. The Gravel soil consists of deep river shingle deposited over time by the Ngaruroro River as it changed course. The exposed greywacke gravel stones absorb and re-radiate heat and are extremely free draining. These are perfect conditions for growing Syrah.
