Serious wine with concentrated flavours suggesting melon, tree fruit/nectarine, apple and wild herbs. Richly textured with good weight and mouth feel. A complex and satisfying dry wine with at least moderate cellaring potential. Subtle oak adds extra interest. Bob Campbell, MW
Fleshy, full-bodied wine with concentrated, ripe, tropical fruit flavours to the fore, a light seasoning of oak adding complexity, and a mouth-watering crisp finish. It’s drinking well now, but still unfolding. Michael Cooper, The Listener
A powerful wine showing lovely complex aromas of citrus, fresh herb, peach and a touch of roasted nuts. The palate is concentrated and intensely flavoured with excellent mid palate weight, bright acidity and a lengthy generous finish. The wine is richer and more mouthfilling than most Sauvignons, and with gentle savoury complexity this should be a lovely wine to partner flavoursome seafood dishes. At its best: now to 2014. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Classic Sémillon characters of chalk dust and fresh herbs with complex fennel bulb characters from the wild Sauvignon. The palate is focused and structured with tense acidity and ripe fruit tannins giving persistence and clarity.
Taking it’s name from the fluted basalt boulders that solemnly surround our volcanic hilltop vineyards, Gravestone is bequeathed upon the finest blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon we are blessed with each vintage.
