The Wine 

Trinity Hill Marsanne Roussanne 2024, Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay  

RRP from $40.00  

Marsanne and Roussanne are classic grapes of the Rhone that are now cultivated in New Zealand. These varieties can make white wines and are often used in red blends as well, such as a Chateauneuf du Pape, or even a white Chateauneuf du Pape.  

A distinctive profile that is both fresh and fragrant with scents of quince and citrus and some stone fruits like white peach and apple. It’s framed by a layer of fruit spice, lees, and a distinctive mineral saline suggestion. It has a silky touch at first, then a surge of acidity and mineral, lees and fruit. Matured in French oak barriques and puncheons. 

 

The season 

Rather excellent for Hawke’s Bay and most of the country, delivering wine of concentration and power and allowing the winemakers to use a little more new oak if desired to add complexity and enhance flavours.  

 

The food 

A wine like this needs food that is less complex to allow the voice of the wine to speak louder. A shellfish dish in a creamy sauce, a ballotine of chicken filled with sausage, prosciutto, and pistachios or a mild cheese and spinach.
