One of the flagship wines from one of Hawke’s Bay’s flagship producers! It’s amazing what winning “Best Chardonnay in the World” can do for your reputation – which is what these guys did back at 1997’s International Wine Challenge in London. They’ve never looked back since.

Produced from premium fruit in the world famous (see above!) Gimblett Gravels sub region in Hawke’s Bay.

The Trinity winemaking crew put their back into it when it comes to their beloved black label Chardy. Hand harvested fruit, fermented with indigenous yeasts in 500 litre French oak puncheons for complexity and texture, malo-lactic fermentation for further richness, eleven months in oak then another four months on lees. No corners cut here!

Scoring 5 Stars with Michael Cooper who said “The winery’s flagship ‘black label’ Chardonnay is typically intense and finely structured. The 2022 vintage (5*) was estate-grown and hand-harvested in the Tin Shed (90 per cent) and Winery Block (10 per cent) vineyards , fermented in French oak puncheons and barriques (46 per cent new), barrel-matured for a year, and then lees-aged in tanks for six months before bottling. Bright lemon/green, it is fragrant and mouthfilling, with deep, vibrant stonefruit flavours, gentle toasty notes, balanced acidity, and excellent complexity and harmony. A refined, ageworthy wine, it should be at its best 2025+.”

A rich, complex and creamy style sure to impress any Chardonnay lover.
