The Trinity (Bordeaux Blend) Trinity Hill 2020

£18.00

A classic Bordeaux blend from Hawkes Bay, roughly a third each of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a dash of Petit Verdot and Malbec, this wine offers great value – loads of Bordeaux character with New World vibrancy.

We visited Trinity Hill during our 2014 tours to New Zealand, and met winemaker Warren Gibson, who has been with Trinity Hill since 1997 and is a pioneer of the famed Gimblett Gravels – free draining soils too infertile to support economic sheep raising, that were rescued in the 1980s from a cement factory by some determined wine growers!

Gimblett Gravels is widely regarded as the best place for Bordeaux varieties in New Zealand.  Its gravelly soils and maritime location are similar to the Médoc, although it is significantly sunnier.

At our March 2024 Teddington and Richmond Wine Society tasting of New Zealand wines it showed really well.
