Trinity Hill Homage Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2018
Superb definition and depth, displaying the fruit purity and elegance for which 'Homage' is known. Velvety silky, spiced tannins and vibrant acidity give texture and a long finish. Youthful, but will age for decades.
Grapes were hand-harvested from several individual sites or blocks, and fermented separately. Total time on skins (including post fermentation maceration) ranged from 16 to 35 days. All parcels were aged in 228 litre French oak barriques (of which 35% were new) for 12-15 months. One parcel was aged for 8 months in a 5,400 litre French oak oval, followed by a further 6 months in barriques. The individual wins were blended and the final blend bottled in July and September 2019.
