USA - Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2020
The Gimblett Gravels Syrah is made from fruit sourced from various vineyards in the sub-region, where the soils consist of deep greywacke gravels. A small percentage of Viognier skins was included to some batches during fermentation. The wine is elegant with cracked pepper and wild berry fruits balanced by good acidity. ‘The Gimblett’ is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and a little Tempranillo from two low-yielding vineyards. The wine has serious structure, with richness, power and lovely blackberry aromatics. The Gimblett Gravels Tempranillo, made in very small quantities, displays attractive bramble fruit aromas and has soft, velvety tannins.
2020 proved to be another exceptional vintage in Hawkes Bay, and had the perfect conditions to produce a beautifully aromatic and ripe Syrah. Extensive rains before Christmas were followed by consistently warm daytime temperatures and moderate to cool nights – conditions that were perfect for ripening while preserving fresh acidity.
