The Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing region is a sub-region in Hawke’s Bay. It is defined by its unique stony soil type. Trinity Hill has three individual blocks in it, including the Gimblett Stones, Tin Shed and Roy’s Hill.

Trinity Hill’s Tin Shed vineyard and vines on the slopes of Roy’s Hill, western side of Gimblett Gravels.

The cool and dry 2020/2021 growing season has produced an aromatic, vibrant and spicy expression of Gimblett Gravels Syrah.

Grapes were harvested from individual blocks and clones in four distinct vineyards, de-stemmed and fermented separately. All parcels were pumped over once daily to aid optimum colour and tannin extraction, with a range of maceration periods utilised to increase textural complexity.

Following fermentation, parcels earmarked for the Gimblett Gravels Syrah blend were matured in 5,400-litre French oak ovals for 12 to 15 months. This barrel ageing regime allows the individual characteristics of our Syrah vineyards to shine through, while allowing the wines to mature slowly and preserve each parcel’s inherent beauty, purity, and freshness. The final wine was blended in December 2022 and bottled in February 2023 with minimal fining and filtration.
