A MASTERFUL EXPRESSION OF GIMBLETT GRAVELS RED

The 2021 vintage of this well-priced wine picked up an impressive GOLD MEDAL at the NZIWS and multiple FIVE STAR reviews. The 2022 was every bit impressive - named in Andrew Caillard MW's 2022 Gimblett Gravels Annual Vintage Selection - one of the most coveted lists in New Zealand wine. It's the second time that Esk Valley Artisanal MCM has made his selection which is a remarkable achievement given that the 2022 list includes such important wines as Craggy Range Le Sol (RRP$180) and Church Road Tom (RRP$220). This is easily one of the sub$20 buys of this year, or any year you care to name. VERY LIMITED STOCKS!

Esk Valley’s exciting Artisanal range showcases small-batch wines crafted with creativity and freedom, allowing the winemaking team to explore personal styles and unique expressions without being driven by wider market dynamics.

Vinted from 41% malbec, 35% merlot and 24% cabernet sauvignon, this is deep red in colour and bursting with dark fruit flavours that are characteristic of the Gimblett Gravels region. It's soft, supple and has a silky smooth finish. Sensational wine from the Esk Valley team, with exceptional cellar potential.

Tasting Notes

The winery writes"This is a very deeply coloured wine as you would expect from a Malbec based wine. It displays rich plummy, jammy Gimblett Gravels fruit on the nose with hints of tobacco and dried herbs. On the palate it is a medley of power and concentration from Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon allied with softer Merlot tannins. This is a full bodied and complex wine, and an ideal accompaniment to red meat dishes."
