Te Mata Cape Crest

From one of the premier producers in hawkes bay the bouquet says it all with a seductive, precise and fresh fruit core, grapefruit, hay orange and apple. With a mx of new and seasoned oak along with lees stirring adds texture and complexity. A small % of Semillon in the blend adds breadth and a fine silk texture. Am impressive wine in perfect balance. Best drinking from today and through 2026.

Te Mata's barrel-fermented Sauvignon is blended with a little Semillon and Sauvignon Gris. This vintage is as deftly crafted as the last but is more tightly wound when first opened. Give it air and only a quick chill to allow the citrus, dried tarragon, white blossoms and cream to shine. The acidity is bracing and the oak shows a bit on the palate, but overall there's beautiful length, texture and flavor depth on this well-structured wine.
