BOB’S BEST BUYS  Valentine’s Day Selection

Wine: Pegasus Bay Gewurztraminer 2024 North Canterbury, $30  

Why I chose it:  

Gewurztraminer is an aromatic wine with punchy aromas that often resemble flowers (in this case rose petals).  

 National Lamb Day Selection

Wine: Trinity Hill 2021 The Gimblett, Hawke’s Bay, $39.99  

Why I chose it:  

It’s NZ Lamb Day today and I wanted to choose a wine that would make a great match with lamb. Lamb is high in fat, which makes it a high flavour meat. Cabernet Sauvignon is a thick-skinned red grape that is also high in flavour making it a perfect partner for lamb.  

Trinity Hill 2021 The Gimblett is a blend of Cabernet Franc 50%, Cabernet Sauvignon 46%, and Petit Verdot 4%. The wine even has a subtle minty character which gives it a built-in mint sauce-like component that’s perfect for lamb.  

What does it taste like?  

Dense, intense red with cassis/dark berry, chocolate/mocha, vanilla, cigar box, and spicy oak flavours with a touch of mint. Approachable now with good ageing potential. A powerhouse red that was built to enhance the flavours of NZ lamb. It’s from the Gimblett Gravels, a premium red-wine region in Hawke’s Bay,  

Where can you buy it?  
Whisky and More, Waikato, $34 
Liquor Legends, Auckland $34  
The Good Wine Co, Auckland $35.99  

Will it keep?  

Yes, with careful storage this wine will still deliver pleasure after 5-10 years or more
