2022 Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay
£25.00
“A rather enticing bouquet of fresh yellow and white peaches, layers of lees and barrel spices, a seam of wood smoke and classic stony earth soil suggestions. Lovely weight and tension as the wine touches the palate. Flavours of stone fruits and citrus along with spices and smoke mirror the bouquet. A complete wine with mouthfeel and poise, length and complexity. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030.”

Product Description
Founded in 1993, by winemaker John Hancock together with Robert and Robyn Wilson, owners of The Bleeding Heart Group and The Don in London, Trinity Hill is synonymous with quality and consistency. In 2021, Trinity Hill was bought by 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.
Winemaker Warren Gibson has worked at Trinity Hill since 1997. Alongside his winemaking expertise, Warren also manages Trinity Hill’s 80 hectares of vineyards across Hawkes Bay and the Gimblett Gravels. He is well versed in these areas and this knowledge is reflected in his wines. Warren and his team show the best of what Hawkes Bay and the Gimblett Gravels can produce. These are wines defined by elegance, balance, drinkability and flavour precision, making them a joy to drink.
The Gimblett Gravels winegrowing area is a small sub-region in the Hawkes Bay, defined by a very unique stony soil type. This wine is sourced from Estate grown grapes in the Tin Shed and Winery vineyards. Chardonnay clones selected for the blend were 95, 548 and 15.
