Trinity Hill 125 Gimblett Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2021
- French oak
- Ripe grapefruit
- Wood spices
- Structured tannins
"This is wonderfully composed and immensely complex, showing ripe stone fruit, lemon peel, vanilla, assorted nut and brioche characters on the nose, followed by a superbly refined palate displaying expansive mouthfeel and creamy texture. Gracefully powerful and mouthfilling with an impressively long gratifying finish. At its best: now to 2035" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2022
"Fabulous bouquet, new, ripe, fresh and complex. Aromas and flavours of ripe fleshy stone fruits, grapefruit and red delicious apple flesh. Barrel and wood spices add complexity and structure with tannins and acidity wrapping around the core fruit flavours. A silky texture with a fine gun-flint quality, some stony earthy qualities and long detailed finish. Fantastic wine and a great example from Hawkes Bay. Best drinking from 2023 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2022
"Delicately aromatic Chardonnay with gentle yellow peach, vanilla, citrus and spicy oak flavours supported by fruity acidity and ripe tannins. Charming wine with an ethereal texture and lingering finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2022
Scents of white peach, ripe grapefruit, and citrus blossom combine with toasty/nutty oak aromas to produce a complex and engaging bouquet. The wine is rich and concentrated in the mouth yet remains focused and composed with outstanding persistence and length of flavour. Stone fruit, citrus, and toasty oak flavours, gently drying phenolics and a fine backbone of acidity combine effortlessly to produce a seamless, harmonious palate with a mouthwatering finish. A fabulous wine of exquisite balance, poise and tension that encapsulates what great Chardonnay is all about. Drink 2023 to 2033.
Hand harvested fruit from our “Tin Shed” vineyard was gently pressed and the juice fermented with indigenous yeasts in a combination of new 228- and 500-litre French oak barriques and puncheons. Malolactic fermentation was encouraged to soften the acidity and impart further richness. The wine spent 14 months on yeast lees building further texture and complexity.
