Te Kahu Gimblett Gravels Vineyard

A red wine from New Zealand's most famous gravel soil: The Gimblett Gravels in Hawke's Bay are among the most distinctive wine sites in the southern hemisphere — deeply drained gravel soils that store heat and drive Merlot to concentrated, structured wines.

Behind the Te Kahu is Craggy Range, founded in 1997 by the Peabody family together with Master of Wine Steve Smith. From the beginning, the winery pursued a consistent single-vineyard philosophy: every site should show its own potential, unfiltered and undiluted. The Gimblett Gravels Vineyard is one of the company's flagship sites.

In the glass, the Merlot shows dark plum and cassis, plus nutmeg, tobacco, and a hint of sandalwood. The body is lush but calm — subtle acidity, finely integrated tannins that do not push. The finish is long and dry, with a pleasant spice.

Pairs with braised lamb shoulder, beef fillet with pepper sauce, or aged cheddar. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Does particularly well with some air in the glass.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
