- TASTING NOTE: "There's an element of expertise to this wine in the form of slick new-French-oak polish and handy freshness. Distinctive leafy aromas abound, as do gravely nuances and tinges of violets, blueberries, blue cherries and cassis. A class act. The palate has layers of fine, dense and ripe tannins saturated in dark-cherry, cassis and blueberry flavors. The acidity is pitch-perfect, too. This is a stylish modern cabernet that could compete with the best from any continent. Best from 2020-2030+" 96 Points - JamesSuckling.com
- ABOUT THE WINE: Coleraine derives its name from the Coleraine vineyard, home of John and Wendy Buck of Te Mata Estate. John’s late grandfather was born in Coleraine in Northern Ireland and the name has been maintained through the family home to the wine. Originally a single vineyard wine, from 1989 Coleraine has been an assemblage of the finest wines produced from distinct plots within Te Mata Estate’s oldest vineyards on the Havelock Hills.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Te Mata Estate was originally part of Te Mata Station, a large pastoral land-holding established in 1854. In 1892 vines were on three parcels of hillside land above the homestead and began converting the original stables to ferment and mature these first Te Mata Estate Wines. Today, Te Mata Estate still uses those same three vineyards. Te Mata Vineyards was acquired by the Buck and Morris families in 1974 – the two families behind the modern interpretation of this historic New Zealand estate. Te Mata is considered one of the New World's great estates, with their Coleraine Cabernet blend rivalling the great wines of Bordeaux in quality and prestige.
