The highest score Parker’s Wine Advocate has ever awarded a New Zealand Syrah. Refined yet powerful, this is among the finest Syrahs New Zealand produces. Warren Gibson — Trinity Hill’s celebrated winemaker — brings formidable credentials to his own personal expression of Syrah, crafted from the estate’s best vines on a sun-drenched hillside above the Gimblett Gravels.
Hand-harvested in multiple passes, the fruit is co-fermented with Viognier skins from the same block — a time-honored Trinity Hill practice — then treated with the utmost restraint in the cellar. The wine matures for 21 months in light-impact new French oak, resulting in seamless integration of oak and fruit.
Expect concentrated dark berry and black pepper notes lifted by floral Viognier perfume, framed by fine-grained tannins and an energetic, saline finish. Elegant, harmonious and built to age.
