The Trinity 2021

Trinity Hill, produktside (hentet 19. okt. 2026): 2021 Trinity Hill The Trinity – område: Hawke's Bay; druer: Merlot 63%, Cabernet Franc 16%, Cabernet Sauvignon 10%, Syrah 9%, Petit Verdot 2%; alkohol 13.5%. Producentens tekst (engelsk): This red is predominantly a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot adding further complexity and interest. Cherry/plum flavours and the suppleness of Merlot combine with the violet perfume and blackberry flavours of Cabernet Franc to produce a serious, yet eminently drinkable wine packed full of flavour and character. A versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or partnered with a wide range of different flavoured foods. Ready to drink now but will reward short- to medium-term cellaring (three to five years from harvest date).

Each individual vineyard parcel was 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 aging in stainless steel tanks the individual blocks were blended to create the ideal wine.
