Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2020

Sam Kim writes "Splendidly complex and refined, the wine shows nectarine, fig, nougat and roasted cashew characters with a hint of flinty overtone. The concentrated palate offers awesome weight and depth, combined with creamy texture and bright acidity, finishing superbly long and engaging. Gorgeously styled and composed."

Cameron Douglas MS writes "After a few minutes in glass the bouquet begins to unfold revealing aromas of cashew nut and fresh yellow peach, vanilla and nutty-wood spices. There’s complexity and youthfulness, familiarity and mineral, stony soil layers. Delicious on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet. A taut and very youthful wine with acidity and oak tannins creating foundation and mouthfeel. Fruit flavours mirror the bouquet with citrus then stone fruit followed by mineral and cashew nut oak. Plenty of acidity, flavour and complexity."

The winery writes "The wine is rich in the mouth yet remains fresh and vibrant thanks to a fine acid backbone. These qualities, combined with tangy stone fruit/citrus flavours, integrated spicy/toasty oak and a gently drying texture, results in a delicious palate with a salivating, lingering finish. A superb wine of balance, finesse and concentration that are the hallmarks of Trinity Hill Chardonnay."

IWC Judges write "Expressive yet nuanced nose, offering fine, fresh stone fruit and mineral aromas. Rich and weighty in the mouth with vibrancy and refreshment and a long, fine, textured finish."
