2021 Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah
£25.00
“Aromas of black berries, black olives, stone, and flint. Some tar. Medium-bodied with firm and polished tannins that give it presence and focus. It’s flavorful and savory at the end with some subtle dried meat undertones.”
96 Points, James Suckling
“From the Single Vineyard range this wine delivers a striking bouquet of dark berries and spices, toasty baked goods and wood smoke, power and personality. The core of this wine is its fruit center of raspberry and dark berries then flavours of earth and wood spiced of anise, some wood smoke and vanilla. Tannins are highly polished adding seamlessly to the fruit intensity, then acidity provides backbone and intensity acorss the palate. A delicious wine, youthful and vibrant with a lengthy complex and flinty finish. Best drinking from late 2025 through 2035.”
95 Points, Cameron Douglas MS
“Awash with plush damsons, mixed berries and violet florals which unite victoriously with layers of sweet baking spice oak, fleshy tannins and beautifully lifted acidity.”

Product Description
Based in the Gimblett Gravels, Trinity Hill is synonymous with quality and consistency, making wines that are emblematic of Hawkes Bay. Winemaker Warren Gibson has worked at Trinity Hill since 1997. In addition to his winemaking expertise, Warren also manages Trinity Hill’s 80 hectares of vineyards across Hawkes Bay and the Gimblett Gravels. His encyclopaedic knowledge of the region and its vineyards is reflected in the quality of the wines. Warren and his team show the best of what Hawkes Bay and the Gimblett Gravels can produce. These wines are defined by elegance, balance, drinkability, and flavour precision, making them a joy to drink.
Originally founded in 1993 by winemaker John Hancock and restaurateurs Robert and Robyn Wilson (owners of The Bleeding Heart Group in London), Trinity Hill was sold in 2021 to a group of New Zealand private investors passionate about the wine industry, including Director, Mitch Plaw and his business partners, Craig Turner, Mark Sandelin and Michael Nock. Together, they have continued to ensure Trinity Hills’ legacy for quality and award-winning, site-specific winemaking.
In 1993, Trinity Hill was among the first to plant grapes on the Gimblett Gravels in Hawkes Bay and today their three estate vineyards are all located within the Gimblett Gravels. Located on gravelly spoils laid down by the old Ngaruroro River, the Gimblett Gravels is a highly sought-after and strictly designated sub-region, prized for the quality of its Syrah.
