If you love cabernet based blends, you must go for this absolute cracker from Hawke’s Bay. Trinity Hill is really bringing out the goods with this one! - John, Head of Buying

The famed Gimblett Gravels wine growing area, a small subregion of Hawke’s Bay, is defined by a very unique stony soil type. The stony soil provides a sturdy mineral base to build on. This wine is built amazingly well with dark and brooding plum and berry fruit luring you in, abundant tannin that interplays with acid for a great texture and a solid structure that suggests serious ageing capability. Sixteen months in 35% new French oak has added power to the wine, interweaving with the vibrant, dark fruit and adding a depth and grip to the palate.

James Suckling says “the palate is an elegantly crafted amalgam of fine, long tannins and smooth, supple dark-fruit flesh. Blackberry and dark-cherry flavours run long here”. We couldn’t agree more about this elegantly crafted, wonderful wine.
