Trinity Hill

Trinity Hill 125 Gimblett Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2018, Gimblett Gravels Hawkes Bay

Toasty, spice, ripe, fruity and quite intense with roasted stone fruit aromas, some citrus and baked goods. Complex, youthful and attractive bouquet overall. On the palate - dry, full-bodied, toasty with wood spices then flavours of peaches and nectarines. The new oak, acidity and fine wood tannins add texture and complexity. Full-bodied, a fine creaminess, balanced, even, lengthy and overall rather delicious. A lovely wine with plenty of youthful energy, nice weight and length. Drinking well now and through 2024.

Trinity Hill L’Eritage Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2018, Hawkes Bay

Now that’s a bouquet to get involved with….. aromas of ripe fruit layered between new oak and dry stone mineral suggestions with an enticing synergy of complexity and power. On the palate - fantastic! Packed with ripe red berry fruits of raspberry then dark cherry, plum and spices. Vanilla and sweet clove, iron shavings, clay and stone. Dry, not too weighty, youthful, detailed, complex and ready if you want it to be. A fine wine with complexity and length, flavour, youth and vibrato. Firm tannins, youthful and ripe, a back bone of acidity adding to a long finish. Best drinking from 2021 through 2026.
