Description

Coleraine is Te Mata’s flagship wine—a blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, the ‘King of Grapes’. It has become New Zealand’s most iconic and collectable red, known for its concentration, complexity, and elegance. Named after the Coleraine vineyard, home to John and Wendy Buck and a nod to John’s ancestral roots in Northern Ireland, Coleraine evolved from a single-vineyard wine into a selection of the finest parcels from Te Mata’s oldest vineyards, established in 1892.

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. 98 Points - Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate

Stunning bouquet ... engaging and captivating. The palate exhibits immense concentration and presence, superbly enhanced by silky texture and layers of chalky tannins. The acidity is perfectly pitched and provides freshness to this long-living wine. A wine of meticulous precision and undeniable sophistication. 98 Points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
