2019 Te Mata Coleraine

Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Frank and Merlot
Region: Hawke's Bay, NZ
Vintage: 2019

Over a 37 year span of vintages for Coleraine, this blend from Te Mata is adored by wine lovers in New Zealand and internationally. Brilliant magenta, Coleraine entices with concentrated rose syrup, fresh, fragrant raspberry, wild strawberry, ripe plum, thyme and cedar. Offering superb depth and complexity, Coleraine is defined by a precise, lazer-edge of pure, bright, red fruit. Framed by tight acid and silky tannins, all this extends elegantly into an exquisite and super-fine crescendo, giving exceptional length and finesse to the wine. Coleraine is closed with a natural cork, allowing continued evolution in bottle for 12 years from harvest.
