Trinity Hill is one of my consummate Hawke’s Bay wine producers. The ‘White Label’ wines cover a broad range of varieties and are made from fruit from vineyards around the wider Hawke’s Bay, Being a Gimblett Gravels-based winery, its premium ‘Black Label’ wines are, of course, made from fruit from estate vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels. The flagship wine, the ‘Homage’ Syrah is a forward-thinking and beautiful interpretation of the Syrah grape, which many consider to be the rising star of Hawke’s Bay and New Zealand. Here, I review the 2017 Hawke’s Bay Pinot Gris from the cooler Mangaorapa district, the vintage a cool and challenging one. www.trinityhill.com
