A hospitality background and marketing qualifications eventually led Rebecca into the wine industry.
With over 25 years’ experience she has held roles in all areas of export, sales and marketing management, for several premium New Zealand and Australian wineries, including having been the Australian based regional manager for Australia and Asia for Villa Maria Estate, and managing export relationships in all other key markets for Australian and New Zealand wineries.
Prior to moving back to Hawke’s Bay, where she grew up, Rebecca spent 10 years managing wineries in the Hunter Valley, Coonawarra and Central Otago. She is excited to be part of the next era for Trinity Hill, a winery she has always recognised as one of New Zealand’s icons.
Warren was educated at Massey University, New Zealand, and at Roseworthy Agricultural College, South Australia. He began his winemaking career in New Zealand in 1987, subsequently travelling the world as a Flying Winemaker, including vintages in Australia, Italy, Hungary, France and California.
In 1997, Warren returned to New Zealand to take up the role of Chief Winemaker at Trinity Hill. The vintages he has produced since arriving at Trinity Hill have earned him the accolades of New Zealand Winemaker of the Year, from Winestate Magazine in 2005, and Winemaker of the Year Winemaker Award at the Mercedes Benz Hawke’s Bay Wine Show in 2006.
Simon’s winemaking career has seen him work for wineries in Bordeaux, Gers, Oregon, Napa Valley, Chile, and Margaret River in addition to making wines in all the key winegrowing regions of New Zealand.
In his current role as an Operations Winemaker at Trinity Hill winery, Simon enjoys the challenges and vast possibilities of producing a range of varietal wines from New Zealand’s premium winegrowing region of Hawkes Bay.
“It is great to work closely with the viticulture and winemaking team to ensure our wines express their unique sense of place.”

After growing up on a New Zealand dairy farm, Wayne was working in mechanical and engineering until the travel bug caught hold. Having, among other adventures, been a tourism overland driver in Africa, a fortuitous trip to France’s Epernay ignited Wayne’s love for wine. After returning to New Zealand, he embarked on a Viticulture degree at EIT in Hawke’s Bay, while beginning his first vineyard role as a Viticulture Hand at Sileni Estates, where he eventually worked his way into a role as Vineyard Foreman.
Wayne joined Trinity Hill in 2008 as a Vineyard Manager and is now the winery’s Viticulturist. His vast knowledge and care of Trinity Hill’s three estate Vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels, Hawke’s Bay is vital for creating wines of character and personality.

Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels wines are crafted from vineyards within this small, sub-region of Hawke’s Bay. Deposited by a wandering river, these unique, stony soils create exceptional wines.
We're incredibly proud of this unique range, so we’ve updated its label to better highlight its big personality.
Look out for our new look Gimblett Gravels range from 2021 vintages onwards.

We are excited to share some more international success today!
Last week, the International Wine and Spirits Challenge gathered members of their wine judging committee to re-taste all the 2022 gold medal winning wines, selecting only 20 wines as trophy winners - including Trinity Hill’s Single Vineyard 125 Gimblet Chardonnay 2020!
The IWSC judges noted of the wine, "A lovely and inviting wine whose crisp, multi-layered palate shows a beautiful balance of smoky, toasty oak over flavours of fleshy yellow and tropical fruits and a preserved lemon zip. Long, concentrated and complex."

Last Friday, Trinity Hill received the IWC Sustainable Trophy 2022 🌱
We’re proud to be a part of the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand programme (SWNZ), a proactive management system that facilitates high-quality wine production using sustainable practices in the vineyard and winery. SWNZ certifies all parts of the production chain including vineyards, wineries, bottling facilities, and brands. Continuously improving in these areas allows us to preserve our most valuable assets – our land and people – while having the lowest possible impact on the environment and human health.
Today, over 90% of the wine produced in New Zealand is processed in SWNZ certified facilities. This level of industry-wide participation in a sustainability scheme is a massive point of difference for wine produced in New Zealand.

Truly great Chardonnay is exhilarating. When all the elements – ripe fruit, savory oak, refreshing acidity – are in balance, working together in harmony, the result is a sublime combination of richness and power coupled with sophistication and refinement. This is our vision when making Chardonnay, and what we feel we have captured in our Single Vineyard 125 Gimblett 2020.... and it's not just us...
