Hosted by Michael Henley, Warren Gibson & Lucy Pearce 1993 saw the first vines of Trinity Hill being dug into the dusty ground of an ancient riverbed in Hawke’s Bay’s Gimblett Gravels. However, Trinity Hill’s story began a few years previously and thousands of miles away in London’s Bleeding Heart restaurant, when the establishment’s owners entered into a pact with the renowned winemaker John Hancock, all convinced of Hawke’s Bay’s untapped potential. Michael Henley MW joins Incumbent chief winemaker Warren Gibson, who opens an exceptional selection of his wines which encapsulate the ethos of Trinity Hill and are available as a tasting kit to our digital members. The pair discuss Trinity Hill’s pioneering first steps, its evolution into one of New Zealand’s principal producers, the diverse patchwork of Hawke’s Bay terroirs, and the Rhône accent which can be sensed in many of its wines, most notably the imperious Homage which is partially created from vine cuttings sent from Hermitage itself.

Hosted by Jasper Morris MW Located between the two Mâconnais villages of Viré and Clessé, Domaine Guillemot-Michel clearly neither aches to be ahead of the curve nor goes in much for market-led business plans; until 2014 Pierrette Michel and her husband Marc Guillemot- who have run the family estate organically since 1982 and biodynamically since 1991 - only made one, sole wine. Even today the entire range numbers less than a handful, but it’s an inspirational, captivating, jewel of a collection. It includes a cuvée made from 65-year-old vines vinified in 800-litre terracotta amphora, a méthode ancestrale sparkling, plus eau-de-vie produced using old Burgundian stills heated by wood that’s cut and gathered from the local forest by the Guillemot-Michel family themselves.
