Description

Trinity Hill were one of the first to really back Syrah in Hawke’s Bay, and they’ve stuck with it for good reason. The variety just works here, giving wines that are fragrant, savoury and full of personality without ever feeling heavy.

The fruit comes mostly off the Gimblett Gravels – those stony soils that make the vines work a bit harder and in turn add depth and a nice savoury edge. 2022 was on the cooler side, which has kept the wine bright and fresh, while still showing plenty of dark fruit and spice.

Made with a bit of whole bunch and matured in older oak, this is Syrah that feels effortless – it’s got flavour and texture, but it’s not dressed up in too much oak or ripeness. Just clean, expressive and a pleasure to drink.

Aromas of black pepper, thyme and dark berries with a subtle smoky touch. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, featuring a delicate yet vibrant core of fruit. Refined tension carries through in the finish, where graphite nuances blend with lingering dark berries. Drink now. Screw cap.

Description
The perfume/florals and spice of Syrah introduce a fruit-dominant, complex wine bursting with intense blueberry/raspberry/blackberry fruit flavours. Supple tannins, crisp acidity, and a touch of toasty oak, combine on the palate to produce succulent, lingering, spicy finish.

Released young to emphasize the beautiful perfume and fruit freshness, this wine can happily be enjoyed on its own or partnered with a wide range of foods, particularly red meat dishes, game, or pasta.

Winemaking:
Weather conditions leading up to the 2022 harvest were typical of a classic Hawke’s Bay summer – long hot sunny days with moderate-cool nights. As Autumn arrived the season became cooler, with intermittent rain, however early warm ripening conditions produced a ripe, supple and delicious Syrah.

Several individual 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.

Following a period of ageing in stainless steel tanks and seasoned small- and large-format French oak barrels, the individual batches were blended to create the ideal marriage of components.
