Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Tempranillo 2022 $39 
The team at Trinity Hill have been growing Tempranillo in their Gimblett Gravels vineyard since forever ago, and if I had a dollar for how many times this wine has scooped gold medals and trophies in the ‘other reds’ category in local wine shows, I’d probably have enough coin to buy another bottle! This Spanish grape has well and truly found a happy home in Hawke’s Bay, creating a wine with an earthy, plum-soaked backbone, pepper and dried herb layers. Tobacco, dark cocoa and rich berry notes wrap up the whole package and assist a long, warm finish.
