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.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This New Zealand red blend is an intense and concentrated expression of classic Bordeaux varieties.The nose showcases blackcurrant, cedar, cigar box and subtle floral aromas. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with layers of cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate and mocha, framed by firm tannins and a long, lingering finish.
