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.

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.

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...

Happy International Rosé Day!!
You may be wondering why we've used this image - well it's because both our Hawke's Bay Rosé 2021 and our Single Vineyard Molly's Block Rosé 2021 are made from 100% Syrah grapes!
The grapes are rapidly and gently pressed with only the “free-run” juice used to produce elegant wines, low in phenolics (or tannins). Deliciously fruity and crisp, both are best served chilled, so why not rug up by the fire and enjoy a winter Rosé!
Head to trinityhill.com to make a purchase or to book a Rosé tasting at our Cellar Door.

Happy Chardonnay Day!
The timing for this year's Chardonnay Day couldn't be more perfect... On the back of our International Chardonnay Trophy at the @internationalwinechallenge for our Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay 2020, its big brother, the 125 Gimblett Chardonnay 2020, has also just won a Gold Medal award at the #internationalwineandspiritschallenge!
Our Chief Winemaker Warren Gibson says, “The 125 Gimblett Road vineyard site has a history of making Chardonnay from the early 1980’s being one of the original sites planted on what is now known as the Gimblett Gravels. A replanting over the last 15 years is now paying serious dividends. The site consistently provides perfectly ripe fruit that is gently transformed into delicious, complex and powerful wines that we aim to sit alongside the great Chardonnays of the world.”

The last of our 2022 harvest wine has now gone to barrel, where it will rest and soak up some oaky goodness before it goes to bottle. Our winemakers are never far away during this process, constantly checking and tasting to ensure optimum flavour development.
