Trinity Hill
Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2021 1.5l

Appellation: Gimblett Gravels, Hawke’s Bay. Vineyards: Tin Shed - 125 Gimblett Rd. Alc/Vol 14.0%.

Weather conditions leading up to the 2021 harvest were typical of a Hawke’s Bay summer – warm sunny days with moderately cool nights. As autumn arrived the season became cooler yet remained dry, providing ideal ripening conditions, while preserving natural acidity.

Aromas of white peaches, grapefruit and citrus blossom are complemented by hints of sweet spices, vanilla, and toasted nuts. The wine is concentrated in the mouth yet remains fresh and vibrant thanks to a fine thread of natural acidity. Spicy/toasty oak flavours and gently drying tannins impart savoury complexity and tension on the palate, which finishes crisp, tangy, and dry with lingering citrus and spice flavours. A superb wine of balance, concentration and finesse that are the hallmarks of Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay.

Drink from 2023 to 2031.
