|
Coleraine derives its name from the Coleraine vineyard, home of John & Wendy Buck of Te Mata Estate. John's late grandfather came from Coleraine in Northern Ireland and the name has been maintained through the family properties to the wine. The first Coleraine was made from the 1982 vintage and created an instant sensation within New Zealand for unsurpassed quality. Originally a single vineyard wine, from 1989 Coleraine has been an assemblage of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc wines produced from thirty plots within Te Mata Estate's nine Hawke's Bay vineyards. This wine has a saturated magenta colour and aromas of blackcurrants, very ripe cherries and marzipan. Perfectly ripe and floral, it shows flavours of brambly blackcurrants and dark cherry syrup with hints of rosemary. The palate is powerful and very elegant with fine grained tannins leading to a long, firm finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Te Mata WOODTHORPE Merlot Cabernet Hawke's Bay NZ
Description: Woodthorpe Cabernet/Merlot has a bright crimson colour, with aromas and flavours of spice, plum and mulberry. The palate is long and fine, with well-integrated cedary oak and a sustained finish. It is a blend of 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 16% Petit Verdot. The grapes for this wine were hand-harvested between April and the May . The individual parcels of each variety from each vineyard were separately crushed, destemmed and given warm, plunged fermentations. The resulting wines remained on skins for extended maceration before pressing and malo-lactic fermentation in tank. They were run off to a mixture of new and seasoned 225-litre oak barrels, still as separate components. Following maturation, topping and racking, these individual wines were blended to create a complete wine that then received further barrel ageing before egg white fining and filtration prior to bottling.

Trinity Hill GIMBLETT GRAVELS Pinot Gris Hawke's Bay NZ
Description: The grapes were hand picked at a good maturity level, with a little botrytis influence, maximizing and diversifying aromas and flavours. They were rapidly and gently whole bunch pressed to produce a rich, fruit driven wine with low phenolics. The juice was briefly cold settled to clarify it and then fermented in both stainless steel tanks and older oak barrels, with full malo-lactic fermentation to add complexity and texture. Flavours and aromas of Nashi pear and spice are evident. The rich, oily texture and fullness, even though the wine is essentially dry, are the result of ripe grapes. This is a great wine to drink on its own or it would fit well with Asian style food. Serve lightly chilled. (12 x 75 cl)

Trinity Hill GIMBLETT GRAVELS Syrah Hawke's Bay NZ
Description: Hawkes Bay has a unique micro climate where vines reach deep into the stony, free draining soil of the old Ngaruroro riverbed, sheltered from the prevailing Westerly winds, basking in an abundance of dry, warm weather. At Trinity Hill's Gimblett Road Vineyards, the river stones gently release their heat long after the sun has set. This helps to promote perfect ripening of the grapes. Vines are planted, trained and pruned to expose as much leaf and fruit to sunlight as possible. North-South planted vine rows allow the mid day sun to warm the ground between rows, while removal of shoots and flowers early in the season reduces the crop level and opens the vine out to light and air. Using these techniques, the winegrowers at Trinity Hill grow moderate crops to consistently produce concentrated flavour and colour intensity in the finished wine. The handpicked grapes were gently destemmed and lightly crushed to leave a large portion of uncrushed berries. Fermentation took place in a closed stainless steel fermenter and the cap was pumped over twice daily with light aeration for optimum color and tannin extraction. An extended post-fermentation maceration complexes the tannins, softening and stabilising the wine. The wine was subsequently aged in a mixture of new and older French and American oak barriques. Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. Regular racking for clarification and controlled introduction of oxygen to the wine was introduced. The wine was blended after 14 months oak aging and bottled in late-September 2001, without fining but with light filtration. The colour is a deep, vibrant crimson. Blackberry, black pepper, savoury and spice elements are prominent. Multi-layered complexity is the aim. Powerful but ripe and round tannins give the wine great structure. Oak aging plays a minor part and the wine lives on its fruit. Combined with the good acidity, these characteristics mean excellent aging potential. Development of mineral, earthy and tarry characters likely during bottle aging, resulting in a wine that is distinctly Northern Rhone-like rather than resembling any thing Australian. (12 x 75 cl)

Trinity Hill Hawke's Bay Chardonnay NZ DUPLICATE
Description: Hawkes Bay has a unique micro climate where vines reach deep into the stony, free draining soil of the old Ngaruroro riverbed, sheltered from the prevailing Westerly winds, basking in an abundance of dry, warm weather. At Trinity Hill's Gimblett Road Vineyards, the river stones gently release their heat long after the sun has set. This helps to promote perfect ripening of the grapes. Vines are planted, trained and pruned to expose as much leaf and fruit to sunlight as possible. North-South planted vine rows allow the mid day sun to warm the ground between rows, while removal of shoots and flowers early in the season reduces the crop level and opens the vine out to light and air. Using these techniques, the winegrowers at Trinity Hill grow moderate crops to consistently produce concentrated flavour and colour intensity in the finished wine. Typical fruit characters from Hawkes Bay Chardonnay such as grapefruit and melon are supplemented by biscuity barrel ferment characters with a light butteriness from the malolactic fermentation. The wine is rich and round, with soft acidity and attractive sweet fruit. (12 x 75 cl)

This wine is made from grapes grown in three different vineyard sites on the Heretaunga plains. Passionfruit and nectarine flavours typical of Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc complement the fresh, lively gooseberry character as well as crisp acidity balancing the wine. (12 x 75 cl)

Trinity Hill HIGH COUNTRY Pinot Noir Gimblett Gravels Hawke's Bay NZ
Description: Characters of black fruits, such as plums, blackcurrant and cherry are evident, along with raspberry aromas. However, this wine is more about texture and structure than primary fruit, with complexity derived from the different clones and winemaking techniques used. We expect the wine to gain further complexity with bottle age as secondary characters of mushrooms and undergrowth develop. 2-3 years bottle aging is recommended. Gentle handling of the grapes, without stalks, with a number of different fermentation techniques, including hand plunging and anaerobic pumping over, has resulted in a supple, silky texture. Experience and skills attained over two vintages by our winemakers at one of Burgundy's best domaines give us the confidence to produce top Pinot Noir. The wine was aged for 10 months in new Burgundy barriques. Great care was taken during barrel aging to protect the fragile nature of this grape variety from contact with air. It was bottled in February 2004 unfined, but lightly filtered to prevent negative microbiological activity during bottle aging. (12 x 75 cl)

Trinity Hill HOMAGE Shiraz Viognier Gimbett Gravels Hawke's Bay NZ
Description: The handpicked grapes were gently de-stemmed and lightly crushed to leave a large portion of uncrushed berries.

Regular racking for clarification took place during ageing in barrel. The wine was blended after 17 months oak ageing and bottled without fining or filtration.
