WINE DESCRIPTION
Te Mata Coleraine is a premium red wine produced by Te Mata Estate, a renowned winery in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which benefit from the region's warm climate and free-draining soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and structure. The resulting wine is a rich and elegant Bordeaux-style blend with notes of blackcurrant, plum, and spice, and a long, smooth finish. Te Mata Coleraine is a true expression of the Hawke's Bay terroir and a must-try for any wine enthusiast.
