Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Tempranillo 2021 $39.99

Trinity Hill first bottled tempranillo back in 2002, from a single barrel, making just 25 dozen bottles. They were one of the first wineries in New Zealand to leap into tempranillo and since then they’ve become an absolute force for good. Especially when it’s from one of Hawke’s Bay’s most exciting vintages. The 2021 has an intensely floral, spice-saturated nose, edged with leather and smoke, while the palate has a suede-like tannin texture cloaking a core of plum and dark cherry complexity. Lovely stuff.
