The 2020 ‘Kohatu’ Gimblett Gravels Bordeaux Blend offers a structured profile of blackcurrant and dark plum fruits, laced with subtle graphite and dried herb notes from the region’s iron-rich gravel soils. Firm yet integrated tannins provide a grippy backbone, balanced by fresh acidity that keeps the medium-bodied palate lively. Echoes of Left Bank Bordeaux emerge in its focused cassis core and mineral edge, adapted to Hawke’s Bay’s warm-climate intensity. Approachable now with some aeration, it promises further development over the next 5–7 years. Enjoy alongside grilled lamb chops or rare steak.
