Australia & NZ
These far-flung wine regions may be referred to ‘new’ when compared against the historic European wine regions, but they have a long winemaking history. Spared from Phylloxera, Australia in particular has world's highest concentration of venerable vines and legendary producers such as Penfolds, Henschke and Tyrell’s have been around for over 150 years. Though for many years piggybacking on Europe’s successes, branding their own wines as ‘Chablis’, ‘Hermitage’ etc., Australia now have created a real identity of their own, making inimitable styles like Coonawarra Cabernet or Hunter Valley Semillon.
New Zealand doesn’t quite have as an extensive history but has established itself in an astonishingly short amount of time as a reliable source of whistle clean, distinctive examples of varietals like Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.

Bob Campbell MW (98)Le Sol, one of the country's most respected syrah labels, cracked through the NZD $100 barrier with the 2013 vintage and has continued to adjust the price in a northerly direction. This is the first vintage that a small amount (20% ) of whole bunches has been used in the fermentation. Nicely perfumed and typically dense, rich syrah with a lovely texture and firm, rounded tannins. Powerful yet elegant wine with plum, berry and mixed spice flavours together with an interesting savoury edge |

The Real Review (99)Dense, intense and complex syrah that combines power and finesse. A deep, dark wine with a heady perfume and dark berry, plum, violet and pepper-spice flavours. Clearly a wine worth cellaring, although it is deliciously drinkable now. |

The Real Review (97)Deep, quite youthful red/purple colour. The bouquet is spotlessly clean, fresh and bright, showing classy oak and properly ripe fruit. The wine is concentrated, full-bodied and powerful, with density, great structure and superbly ripe fruit flavours. A majestic wine. It's a baby, and all it needs is a bit more time. |

Crafted by Trinity Hill, a winery with a reputation for expressive and complex wines, the Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2020 is an exquisite delight. Enhancing the Hawke’s Bay area's reputation for exceptional Syrah cultivation, this wine echoes Old World cool-climate Syrah at its best. Delicately matured with the finest French oak integration, it results in a superbly balanced wine that doesn’t rely on brute force, but rather elegant fruit concentration and refined tannins. The Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2020 offers layered aromas of dark plum, ground pepper and exotic florals, with a pencil-lead minerality adding to its complexity. It offers a delightful tension on the palate, with restrained dark fruit flavours, firm but ripe tannins, and a long sophisticated finish. An excellent partner for game and other robust red meat dishes, this Syrah is one of New Zealand's finest. Indulge in the rich depth of Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2020 and experience exceptional winemaking at its finest. |
