Sophia means wisdom in Greek mythology and pays tribute to the god of knowledge, experience, information and understanding - this is the philosophy by which the wine is made. Læs mere

Sophia Gimblett Gravels

The Gimblett Gravels is the best sub-area in the Hawkes Bay district, which lies on the east coast of North Island. The soil is extremely stony and poor, and the vines are forced to perform at their best. The common denominator of Gimblett Gravels' wines is a pronounced power and minerality, which leads the mind light years away from all common notions of sun-modern, unnuanced overseas wine. Gimblett Gravels is one of the best places in the southern hemisphere to grow top level Merlot, and the top wine Sophia clearly illustrates this. The wine is based on Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and possibly Malbec and Petit Verdot depending on the vintage. The aroma offers nuances of prune, blackberry, herbs, vanilla and pencil. The flavour is full and nicely structured, and the aftertaste is long and slightly spicy. It is almost impossible to distinguish this impressive wine from the highest classified wines of Saint-Èmilion.

Alluring berry and cherry aromas. Depth on the palate with an intelligent oak treatment giving vanilla, tobacco and cloves and a lengthy finish.

A beautiful Sophia. The concentration, the fruit presence and purity, the measured tannins and confident ripeness - there's so much to impress here and the wine is at the start of a very long ride.Blueberry and cassis, cherries and violets, fresh earth and stony elements, too. The palate holds long and fleshy with a flawlessly integrated array of flavors, varieties and tannin textures. It builds and finishes assertively in the mode of great Claret. You can approach it now, but it will hit full stride around 2025 and drink for at least a decade after that.

The 2015 Sophia is a blend of 73% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Cabernet Franc. Vanilla and cedar notes frame ample black cherry and cassis fruit on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate boasts supple, velvety tannins and a long, plush finish. One of the more approachable young Sophias, it drinks well now but should age well for at least 10 years. 2017 - 2027.

Dense and juicy, featuring a mineral edge to the plum, cassis and blackberry flavors, with a dash of sarsaparilla. The tannins are firm and velvety, showing plenty of concentration. Toasted herb notes linger. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2028. 900 cases made.
