Flavour Profile
For Trinity Hill, truly great Chardonnay should be exhilarating – a perfect balance of ripe fruit, savoury oak and freshness. This was the vision for their barrel-aged 125 Gimblett single vineyard expression.
Trinity Hill is the result of a chance meeting of Robert and Robyn Wilson, owners of London restaurant Bleeding Heart, with winemaker John Hancock. Convinced they could together make world-class reds in New Zealand’s Hawke’s Bay, Gimblett Gravels in particular, they started planting in 1993 and expanded further in 2000. Even with their first release 1997 vintage they won Trophies.
Today they have a worldwide reputation for an amazing array of grape varieties and styles – from Chardonnay to Syrah to Rhône blends. This Chardonnay was made with hand-picked grapes from Trinity Hill’s “Tin Shed” vineyard and aged in barrels for 14 months before being bottled. Aromas of white peach, ripe grapefruit and nutty oak are followed by juicy stone fruit, citrus and toasty oak flavours, with a refreshing, mineral backbone. Beautiful on its own or paired with pan-seared scallops or wild mushroom ravioli.
