A legend of the Hawke’s Bay wine scene. Trinity Hill were one of the pioneers in the Gimblett Gravels region back in 1993 seeing real potential for world class wine, especially Chardonnay, Syrah and Bordeaux blends.

This is their super popular ‘The Trinity’ label – a Bordeaux red blend of Merlot (63%), Cabernet Franc (16%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), Syrah (9%) and a 2% splash of Petit Verdot in there too. From a top 2021 Hawke’s Bay vintage, using predominantly Gimblett Gravels fruit, this is an extremely classy Bordeaux blend coming in under the $20 mark boasting FOUR Gold medals including twice Double Gold medal winner at the NZ International Wine Show – meaning every senior judge (two years running!) award it a Gold medal score…

90/100 (Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review)
“A blend of merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot from a very favourable vintage. Ripe berry, plum, red rose, floral and a hint of fresh herbs. A lively wine that offers good drinking now but no rush. Good value at this price ($25)”

5 Stars & 93/100 (Sam Kim)
“The palate displays succulent fruit intensity with supple texture and fine-grained tannins, offering excellent structure and persistency. At its best: now to 2030”

93/100 (Cam Douglas MS)
“A very enticing bouquet filled with scents of ripe red berry fruits, savoury complexities and intrigue…Excellent value”

4 Stars (Cuisine magazine 2024)
“Well weighted and plush with fresh, bright acid that gives lift. Generous oak and supple tannins.”

4 Stars (Michael Cooper)
“Already very approachable, the 2021 vintage is a generous, buoyantly fruity blend…estate-grown at three sites in the Gimblett Gravels and aged in stainless steel tanks, rather than oak barrels. Deeply coloured, it is fragrant, mouthfilling and supple, with strong blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours. Best drinking mid-2023+”

A great red blend for Mum’s best Sunday roast with lamb or beef. Drink now but as Bob says, there’s no rush and you could comfortably cellar this for 5-6 years from vintage.
