Sourced from mature vines rooted in gravel and clay, the wine opens with deep currents of blackcurrant, dark plum and violets, laced with cedar, graphite and gentle spice. On the palate it moves with grace and authority, layered and precise, its fine tannins and fresh acidity carrying a long, resonant finish. A wine of depth and restraint, it reflects both the enduring legacy of Te Mata and the classical soul of Hawke’s Bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe 2023 Coleraine comprises 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. This cuvée is not made to a recipe, rather as a selection of the best from each vintage. In 2023, due to the weather induced by Cyclone Gabrielle, which landed in early February (the second or third), the strongest performer was the Cabernet Sauvignon due to bunch architecture, small berries, thick skins and, in this case, the low-vigor rootstocks and the chicory in between the rows. Te Mata invests heavily into research and development in the vineyards, which really assists in a vintage like 2023, which imposes challenges. The elevation in all aspects of this wine from the already tremendously impressive Awatea is significant. Here, the tannins have a finer grain, the fruit is more persistent and the package is far more integrated and seamless. With raspberry, iodine, crushed shells, nori, pressed flowers, new lead pencil, tobacco, bramble and cassis, it is magnificent. Raw cocoa and the gentle and subtle creep of game\/gristle\/blood and sweet marrow indicate its direction later in life. I love this wine. I think I write that every time I taste it. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. \u003cstrong\u003e98 Pts, Drink 2024-2043 - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49896252702913,"sku":"SK64090461","price":165.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/97835D5C-F0D3-468C-BFC7-88490F9F8864.jpg?v=1771155754"},{"product_id":"te-mata-awatea-cabernet-merlot-2023","title":"Te Mata Estate Awatea Cabernets Merlot 2023 Hawke's Bay","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFrom Te Mata Estate, one of New Zealand’s oldest and most celebrated wineries, founded in 1896 and still family owned, crafting benchmark reds in Hawke’s Bay.

In the mouth, the wine is savory, structural, spicy and chewy, with a ductile splay of tannin that moves across the palate and through the finish. The palate speaks of structure and shape, while the fruit is mostly on the nose at this early stage. This will evolve beautifully in bottle over time, and as the bottle I am tasting here today was bottled four weeks ago, no doubt your bottle will look more polished and sleek.
