Tasting Note: Intense blackberry, wild raspberries, red liquorice, and hints of savoury spice combine to produce a fruit-dominant complex wine with a subtle touch of oak spice on the finish. The wine is deliberately released young to emphasise the beautiful perfume and fruit freshness.

REVIEW: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 96 Points Expressing purity and grace, the wine shows Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet, dark olive and toasted almond characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate offering outstanding depth and multi-layered mouthfeel. Tannins are polished and fine, and in abundance, providing excellent frame and structure. It’s wonderfully harmonious and supremely well-balanced with a sustained refined finish. At its best: 2025 to 2036
Cam Douglas MS 95 Points Outstanding Fantastic bouquet with concentration and power, a deep core of ripe black-currant and dark berry fruits scents, smoky wood and hard-pan clay soil scents, violets and spiced plums. On a the palate a flourish of fruits flavours that reflect the bouquet wrapped in firm tannins and a back bone of acidity as well as a mix of new and seasoned oak. Delicious, fresh and youthful, taut and dry, lengthy and well made. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2029+.
About Trinity Hill: In 1993, having recognised the outstanding potential of the Hawkes Bays Gimblett Gravels winegrowing district, Trinity Hill became one of the region's early pioneers, planting grapevines on a barren plot that continues to produce exceptional wines today.
Gimblett Estateis an 18-hectare block of vineyards off Gimblett Road, close to their 125 Gimblett site. This vineyard is particularly stony, and home to 95% of of the Trinity Hill Syrah. This vineyard is also home to some of our oldest vines, original clones that were some of the first Syrah vines brought to New Zealand.
