Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Marsanne/Viognier from Gimblett Gravels, New Zealand, is a captivating dry white wine. This still wine, a blend of Marsanne and Viognier, offers exotic aromatics of apricot and jasmine, complemented by gentle honeysuckle flavours. Fermented in aged French oak barriques and aged on yeast lees for 17 months, it develops a luscious texture and balanced structure, with malolactic fermentation discouraged to preserve natural acidity. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine is perfect with poultry, rich fish, or creamy pasta dishes.

Vinification
The fruit was hand-harvested prior to arrival at the winery where it was gently whole-bunch pressed and settled in tank overnight. Fermentation took place in a range of aged 228 litre French oak barriques and malolactic fermentation was discouraged post-fermentation to retain the wine's natural acidity and preserve Marsanne's delicate aromatics and perfume. After ageing on yeast lees for 17 months, the wine was blended in September 2021, before being filtered and bottled in October 2021 with no fining.
Flavour profile
