Trinity Hill The Gimblett Cabernet Blend 2022 750ml

Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels wines are crafted from vineyards within this small, sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. Deposited by a wandering river, these unique, stony soils create exceptional wines of character and personality.

Since 2005, “The Gimblett” has typically been a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec, in varying proportions, depending on the strengths of the vintage. Thanks to a favourable growing season, the 2021 release is made almost entirely from the Cabernet family, with a small amount of Petit Verdot adding further complexity and interest.

WINEMAKING

Each variety was hand harvested from individual blocks from the Gimblett Stones vineyard, the different clones were de-stemmed and fermented separately. All parcels were gently hand plunged once daily, to aid optimum colour , but 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 Curve before been bottled in July 2025. 

Variety

80% Cabernet Franc

20% Tempranillo

Each parcel was matured either in new or seasoned 225-litre French oak barriques for up to 12 months before being blended in May and bottled in June 2022, respectively. The percentage of new oak in the final blend was 38%.

THE WINE

The beauty and perfume of Cabernet Franc is complimented 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 fine-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
