TRINITY HILL HAWKES BAY

Trinity Hill Syrah Half Bottle 2022

Trust your Taste

Blueberry, raspberry and blackberry burst through this Hawke’s Bay Syrah, lifted by florals and spice. Supple tannins and a touch of toasty oak give it a rounded feel, while crisp acidity keeps the finish lively. The half bottle is an inviting way to try a fresh, fruit-filled red.

How this wine feels

The fruit is generous and the tannins supple, so the middle feels rounded. A crisp fresh edge gives the finish energy, with spice adding a little detail. It is a lively red rather than a heavy, strongly drying one.

The sliders show how strongly each characteristic comes through. Higher does not mean better.
