Black plum and blackberry aromas and notions of olive tapenade and dried sage. A full bodied palate with firm, age-worthy tannins and acidity, and concentrated flavors of boysenberry, dark chocolate and marzipan that linger through the long, rich finish.

“A “trig” has been used for many years to establish boundary lines. Trigonometrical stations were set on the top of hills and used as surveying sites. Just as my father was a land surveyor and used these trigs as a reference, so do I when it comes to well-known vineyard sites” Nick Goldschmidt, Winemaker.
Here's a polished, concise winery profile suitable for a tech sheet or website:
Nick and Yolyn Goldschmidt (pictured above) founded Trig Point in 1998 with a vision of crafting handcrafted, small-production, single-vineyard wines that express the unique character of exceptional vineyard sites around the world. After decades as one of the wine industry's most respected "flying winemakers," Nick brought his global experience to his family-owned winery, focusing on site-driven wines of purity and distinction.
Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Nick studied horticulture, viticulture, and winemaking before building an extraordinary international career. He held leadership roles with renowned wineries including Simi, Clos du Bois, Gary Farrell, Buena Vista, William Hill, Atlas Peak, Geyser Peak, and Wild Horse, while also consulting for prestigious estates such as Cloudy Bay, Terrazas, and Ruffino. In 2008, he devoted himself full-time to Goldschmidt Vineyards and Trig Point, where he continues to produce artisan wines while consulting for wineries across the globe. His commitment to innovation, biodynamic farming, and expressing the individuality of each vineyard remains at the heart of every bottle.
