Gimblett Gravels Syrah, Trinity Hill, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand – Organic
£24.50
This is a great example of Syrah from the famed Gimblett Gravels area of Hawkes Bay. The soil here is very poor (gravelly…duh) meaning the vines’ roots have to dig down deep to get their nutrients, leading to extra complexity (allegedly..). Anyway, Trinity Hill are certainly one of the best producers here and this wine is stunning; real depth and richness to the dark brambly fruit and a twist of pepper. Long and satisfying. A great match for steaks and roast meats.

Perfect for BBQ's and a really versatile wine to have on hand, complementing pizza, meaty pasta, pork chops...
