Description
Discover the exquisite Trinity Hill Hawkes Bay Syrah 2020, a remarkable red wine produced from premium Syrah grapes sourced from the renowned Gimblett Gravels and Bridge Pa Triangle vineyards in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. Crafted with meticulous care, this wine embodies the unique terroir of the region, delivering a vibrant and intense drinking experience that is sure to impress.
During the 2020 growing season, the warm and dry climate allowed the grapes to ripen beautifully.

Aged for eight months in a combination of used French oak and stainless steel, this Syrah boasts a balanced structure and complexity.

- Palate: A velvety, medium-bodied wine revealing flavors of grilled plum and blackberry, complemented by a mineral streak and silky tannins.
- Finish: Features a long, smooth finish with lingering nuances of black pepper warmth and a delicate smoky cedar grip.
Best enjoyed when served slightly chilled at around 14-16°C, this Syrah pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Recommended serving suggestions include:
- Spiced lamb koftas or pomegranate-glazed duck breast to enhance its rich flavor profile.
- Presenting in wide-mouthed glasses, garnished with a fresh rosemary sprig for an aromatic touch.
- A sophisticated wine reduction sauce drizzled over grilled mushrooms or beef medallions.
- Accompanied by aged cheddar, prosciutto, and spiced dark chocolate bites for an elevated casual dining experience.
- Served alongside charred eggplant baba ganoush and warm flatbreads for a delightful smoky interplay.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of red wine such as a Syrah 2020:
- Temperature: Maintain a stable temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) ideally around 58–65°F for good aging without premature deterioration or slowed maturation. Avoid fluctuations and temperatures above 70°F to prevent accelerated aging.
- Light exposure: Store the bottle in a dark place to avoid sunlight and UV light which can heat the wine and degrade its quality over time.
- Sealing: Keep the bottle sealed with its original cork to limit oxygen exposure and preserve flavor and aroma.
- Bottle position: Store the bottle horizontally to ensure the cork remains moist preventing it from drying out and allowing air to enter.
- Humidity: Maintain a humidity level around 60-70% to prevent cork shrinkage and preserve the seal integrity.
- Opened bottles: After opening re-cork tightly and refrigerate at approximately 40–45°F to slow oxidation; allow the wine to warm to serving temperature (around 60–65°F) before drinking.
These conditions help preserve red wine's flavor aroma and structure through proper aging and post-opening storage.
