Hawke’s Bay Winery Trinity Hill has received three trophies at the New Zealand International Wine Show 2023
Trophy for Champion Syrah and Predominant Blends,
Trophy for Champion Syrah, and
Trophy for Champion Commercial Red Wine & Double Gold Medal
The 2020/2021 growing season in Hawke’s Bay was mild and dry producing deliciously ripe, vibrant, and juicy early-drinking Syrah. Parcels from our three Gimblett Gravels vineyards were harvested separately and de-stemmed prior to fermentation. Gentle daily pumping over of the skins during fermentation helped extract a soft, complex structure. Extended maceration on skins following fermentation helped to further integrate and soften the tannins. The wine was seasoned in small- and large-format French oak barrels, the individual batches were then blended to create an ideal marriage of components.
The perfume/florals and spice of Syrah introduce a fruit-dominant, complex wine bursting with intense blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry fruit flavours. Supple tannins, crisp acidity, and a touch of toasty oak, combine on the palate to produce a succulent, lingering, and spicy finish. Released young to emphasize the beautiful perfume and fruit freshness, this wine can be enjoyed on its own or partnered with a wide range of foods, particularly red meat dishes, game, or pasta. Drink over the next five to eight years for maximum enjoyment.
