Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2022
Trust your Taste
White nectarine, lime zest and citrus blossom meet toasted nuts, flint and savoury spice in this Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay. Fine texture and a bright acid line keep it fresh despite its barrel richness. Try it if you enjoy Chardonnay with detail, energy and a long, mouth-watering finish.
