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 (12 x 75 cl)

Trinity Hill GIMBLETT GRAVELS Pinot Gris Hawke'sBay 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) Price: £265.17
