Hawke s Bay s Trinity Hill Winery is back in New Zealand hands, nearly four years after its US owner was imprisoned for fraud. A group of private investors, including Waikato-based rich-lister Mitch Plaw, have acquired the well known winery formerly owned by American Charles Banks.
Founded in 1993 by Robyn and Robert Wilson, Trinity Hill was an early pioneer of the now-famous Gimblett Gravels winemaking sub-region located near Hastings.
