When picked in beautiful condition, cabernet sauvignon from Hawke's Bay is capable of incredible varietal complexity, and even more so when from different rootstocks, clones, site aspects, soils, and mesoclimates. Always a jewel in the crown of Te Mata, these cabernet vineyards are the strength and hallmark of Coleraine ’22.
The blend of 84% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot and 3% cabernet franc reflects this.
The year 2024 is a golden celebration at New Zealand's oldest winery, Te Mata Estate, a sparkling half-century anniversary of continuous ownership. The highlight of this celebratory year is the release of Coleraine ’22, showcasing the greatness of Te Mata cabernet sauvignon – on display at the highest level since the legendary ’82, the inaugural Coleraine.
The succession of vintage variation is what makes Coleraine so collectable. Thought-provoking and captivating, with layers of varietal expression made precise by years of collective experience, Coleraine ’22 offers power and weight alongside signature restraint and finesse.
