Trinity Hill
Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2020 1.5l

Appellation: Gimblett Gravels, Hawke’s Bay. Vineyards: 82% Tin Shed / 18% Winery Blocks. Alc/Vol 14.0%

Weather conditions leading up to the 2020 harvest were typical of a classic Hawke’s Bay summer – long hot sunny days with moderate-cool nights. As Autumn arrived the season became cooler yet remained dry, providing ideal ripening conditions while preserving natural acidity.

Fragrant aromas of white nectarines, citrus blossom and lime zest are complemented by hints of toasted nuts, flint, and savoury spices. The wine is rich in the mouth yet remains fresh and vibrant thanks to a fine acid backbone. These qualities, combined with tangy stone fruit/citrus flavours, integrated spicy/toasty oak and a gently drying texture, results in a delicious palate with a salivating, lingering finish. A superb wine of balance, finesse and concentration that are the hallmarks of Trinity Hill Chardonnay.

Drink from 2022 to 2030.
