The Gimblett 2022

Trinity Hill, produktside (hentet 19. okt. 2026): 2022 Trinity Hill The Gimblett – område: Hawke's Bay; druer: Cabernet Franc 80%, Tempranillo 20%. Producentens tekst (engelsk): The beauty and perfume of Cabernet Franc is complemented by the sophistication and rustic character of Tempranillo. Complex aromas of brambly blackcurrants, plums and coffee grounds intermingled with hints of dried herbs, chocolate and sweet spices. The palate is intense and generous, framed with ne-grained tannins and juicy acidity, which combine to produce a succulent, supple, textural wine with the structure and capacity to develop further complexity over the next 10 – 20 years. Drink from 2024 to 2045. Enjoy with Beef Bourguignon. Decant before serving. Vineyard: 100% Gimblett Stones Varieties: 80% Cabernet Franc/20% Tempranillo Harvest Detail: Picked: 20 th to 21 st March 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 ripe, supple Cabernet Franc and Tempranillo varieties. Winemaking: Each variety was hand-harvested from individual blocks from the Gimblett Stones vineyard, with the various clones de-stemmed and fermented separately. All parcels were gently hand plunged once daily, to aid optimum colour, with gentle tannin extraction; then pressed and matured in 225-litre French oak barriques (32% new), for up to 18 months before being blended and then aged a further 6 months in a 5000L Oak Oval before bottling in July 2025.
