GIMBLETT GRAVELS MARSANNE VIOGNIER 2019

Marsanne and Viognier are the traditional white varieties found in the Rhone Valley of France. Viognier typically provides exotic aromatics of apricot, musk, and jasmine and a voluptuous mouthfeel. Marsanne provides gentle honeysuckle flavours plus structure and tension to balance the richness of Viognier. The exotic and sensual nature of this wine makes it an ideal substitute for Chardonnay or Pinot Gris. The result is a versatile wine for food matching. Recommendations include various Asian-style dishes.

GIMBLETT GRAVELS CHARDONNAY 2019

Fruit flavours are in the cool to moderate spectrum of citrus, white flowers, ripe grapefruit and stone fruit. The style is mid-weight with elegant oak nicely tucked in, providing texture and lingering flavours of cashew, roasted almond and gun flint.

The structure has a tight shape with the finesse and concentration that are hallmarks of Trinity Hill Chardonnay. It displays delicacy, but richness and the beautifully linear acidity makes it a fantastic match with food. An excellent partner with white meats and seafood dishes.

GIMBLETT GRAVELS TEMPRANILLO 2020

Tempranillo is a red grape variety grown in many parts of Spain. It is best known in the production of the famous wines of Rioja.

It is also found in Portugal under the synonym Tinta Roriz where it is one of the main grape varieties of Port and Douro dry red wine styles.

The wine shows attractive brambly, blackberry fruits with spicy, exotic complexity. The palate is rich with liquorice, chocolate and vanilla, textural with gentle tannins. This wine can be enjoyed in its youth but it will age well for at least ten years. Red meat or pork would be an ideal match as well as traditional Tapas-style dishes

GIMBLETT GRAVELS SYRAH 2019

The 2019 Syrah has a deep and youthful vibrant crimson colour. Wild raspberry, blueberry, cracked pepper and hints of vanilla bean show on the nose. Powerful and balanced ripe tannins give the wine great savoury structure. Oak plays a supporting role with the wine living on a pure fruit expression. This purity combined with refreshing natural acidity means there is potential for aging. Development of mineral, gamey characters will result from bottle-age. GIMBLETT GRAVELS THE GIMBLETT 2019

Since 2005, “The Gimblett” has typically been a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec, in varying proportions, depending on the strengths of the vintage. Thanks to a warm growing season, the 2019 release is made almost entirely from the Cabernet family.

The sophistication and refinement of Cabernet Sauvignon is complimented by the beauty and perfume of Cabernet Franc.

A youthful, deep purple/ruby red colour and an enticing violet fragrance introduce aromas of blackcurrants and blackberries along with hints of bramble, cedar, liquorice, and toast. Ripe blackcurrant/blackberry flavours, savoury oak, finegrained tannins, and juicy acidity combine to produce a supple, textural palate that glides effortlessly to a long and succulent finish.
