One of the nation\u2019s iconic wines &#8211; a New Zealand \u2018Grange\u2019 as my travelling companion suggests. The Penfolds wine has never really grabbed me, but I did spend a fascinating couple of days with the first bottle of Homage that I was asked to review, a while back. It can be an \u2018interesting\u2019 wine to discover &#8211; or to assess, revealing only a little of itself at first glance, and requiring of the participant some deeper attention and focus to really gain insight to the charms as they unfold.<\/p><p>This time we\u2019re at Mantell\u2019s &#8211; a stately villa in Mt Eden that has as much charm and elegance as anywhere I\u2019ve been in Central Auckland. Hotel Britomart has some lovely spaces, and one floor of the Seafarers, and a couple of rooms in the Northern Club also spring to mind. Quite lovely. In a European hobo chic kind of vibe. One upside is the weather taking a break from it\u2019s attempt at a monsoon, so we can stray into the charming courtyard and while away some time by the open fire. There\u2019s a decent-sized professional kitchen too, resulting in some rather more-ish canap\u00e9s passing by &#8211; I was particularly taken by a one-bite morsel of corn chip, with a sliver of raw tuna and some vaguely mexican spice-and-sauce combo atop.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>A word to the organisers. This is how it\u2019s done. Enough staff to keep all concerned fed and watered &#8211; how they managed this in the current hospo-staff-crisis is a mystery. A cool, muted DJ. Clean glasses for when you wanted one. Space to move about. Short, witty speeches. And eclectic, interesting group of invited humans. Bravo. Ask me again!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6606964 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6606964\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ddf5be\" data-id=\"7ddf5be\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9f6e5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e9f6e5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Talk-1024x628.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6305\" alt=\"speeches\" srcset=\"https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Talk-1024x628.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Talk-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Talk-768x471.jpg 768w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Talk-1536x943.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Talk-348x215.jpg 348w, https:\/\/winefolio.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Talk.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ff17668 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ff17668\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-09719c0\" data-id=\"09719c0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1a9688 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1a9688\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Trinity Hill are making a few \u2018single vineyard\u2019 wines now. One of these was handed to me on arrival &#8211; the \u2018<b>Molly\u2019s Block Ros\u00e9<\/b>\u2019 made from Syrah. This 2021 wine is perfumed with cranberry, red cherry, rosehip, apple mint, ginger and jasmine florals. Bone dry, vibrant and delicately balanced into the palate where savoury layers of fennel bulb, roasted beet, pea pod and cucumber add interest, along with some oyster shell minerality.<\/p><p>I\u2019m pleased to see the new <b>\u2018Gimblett Gravels Chardonnay\u2019<\/b> is here tonight, as I couldn\u2019t get hold of any for the big Top 10 Tasting last week. The new 2021 wine has a new label &#8211; matt black with a stones motif across the middle in glossy black. The black-on-black looks very smart. The new vintage has lost its pungent reductive flintiness, and simple gets down to the business of being delicious. The last vintage won some serious awards (and a 96pt score from me), so this has a lot to live up to. A full review to follow, separately. Sharing the new Gimblett Gravels livery is <b>\u2018The Gimblett\u2019<\/b> &#8211; the red blend having a make-over in components this year &#8211; with Cabernet Franc leading the way, alongside Cabernet Sauvignon and just a nibble of Petit Verdot &#8211; so, no Merlot. It\u2019s very, very good. Sat by the fireside as I was, this went down a treat.

Taut, burgeoning, with power, presence and a vitality to the palate. Unfolding with layers of flavours \u2013 ripe stonefruit, citrus, subtle spice, stony minerality and lemon rind. I gave it a stonking 97pts, and if Kumeu River hadn\u2019t released one of the wines of the decade, it would have been my favourite white wine.
