i. Biography
Coming Up
At Trinity Hill, Warren Gibson holds the Chief Winemaker role across a house closely watched for its contemporary New Zealand style. The work calls for precision in the cellar and patience through season, with the job not just to make wine, but to shape something with a clear voice and a durable identity. Gibson’s name is now tied to wines that aim for focus and intent, especially in varieties that demand both technical control and conviction.
Signature
Among Warren Gibson’s named wines, Homage Syrah and Tiratore Chardonnay show two sides of the same disciplined approach. Homage Syrah carries weight in both glass and market, while Tiratore Chardonnay is built on detail, balance, and poise. Read together, the wines point to a style that stays composed rather than flashy, expressive without excess, and anchored in place enough to reward time and attention.
In Their Words “Prestige Syrah from New Zealand is never going to be as easy to market as say a Bordeaux blend, although Homage is now doing extremely well.” “Syrah is becoming an easier sell, both internationally and domestically, although it has been a bit of a hard slog.”
