In the heart of New Zealand’s famed Gimblett Gravels district of Hawke’s Bay lies a winery deeply rooted in tradition and innovation. Trinity Hill, with over 25 years of winemaking excellence, presents its latest masterpiece: the 2023 Emma Rosé. This exquisite rosé, a blend of mostly Syrah, Tempranillo, and Touriga, is more than just a wine; it’s a testament to the enduring cycle of life, artistry, and philanthropy.
A Collaboration of Art and Nature
The label of the Emma Rosé tells a story of collaboration between two entities deeply connected to nature: Trinity Hill and the talented artist Emma Bass. The label artwork is adorned with roses sourced from the garden of Emma’s father, a retired cardiologist. Roses, traditionally planted on the edges of grapevines, serve as protectors and indicators of vine health. Similarly, Emma’s artistic endeavors, rooted in promoting healing and well-being through nature and beauty, are reflected in her delicate floral compositions.
A Wine with a Purpose
Emma’s creative vision intertwines seamlessly with Trinity Hill’s winemaking philosophy, which honors the natural life cycle of the vineyard. Just as Emma’s flowers wilt and fade, the vines of Trinity Hill flourish anew each year, celebrating the cycles of birth, growth, and eventual demise. With each bottle of Emma Rosé sold, a percentage of the proceeds is donated to Cranford Hospice in Hawke’s Bay, supporting their vital palliative care services.
Captivating Reviews
Renowned wine critics have lauded the Emma Rosé for its character and charm. Michael Cooper describes it as a characterful blend with strong peachy and spicy flavors, while Mark Henderson notes its drier impression, red apple notes, and deceptive intensity that grows with each sip. Both critics agree that this rosé is not only fascinating but also a perfect complement to a variety of dishes.
Craftsmanship in Winemaking
Crafted with precision and care, the Emma Rosé is a testament to Trinity Hill’s winemaking expertise. The grapes, meticulously selected from the Gimblett Estate vineyard, undergo gentle pressing, ensuring only the finest juice is used. Fermented at cool temperatures and bottled early to preserve its youthfulness, this rosé bursts with aromas of violets, forest flowers, and delicate rose petals. On the palate, it delights with intense red fruit flavors, plum, and spice, balanced by a creamy texture and tangy acidity.
A Wine for Every Occasion
Versatile and elegant, the Emma Rosé is a perfect companion for a myriad of culinary delights. Whether paired with niçoise or Greek salads, soft cheeses, or cured salmon, this wine elevates any dining experience with its vibrancy and freshness.
