Coleraine ’22 was hand harvested from separate plots within Te Mata’s vineyards between 12 March and 1 April 2022.
WINEMAKING
Each parcel of grapes was destemmed before a
traditional warm-plunged fermentation and extended maceration on skins.
The resulting wines were then run to predominately new French oak
barrels for 17 months’ maturation. Throughout this time, they were
regularly topped and racked. The assemblage was made in December 2022
and the finished wine was bottled in December 2023. The final blend is
84% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot and 3% cabernet franc.
TASTING NOTE
Coleraine
’22 harnesses the energy and complexity of Te Mata cabernet sauvignon,
on show at its highest level since the first Coleraine in 1982. The
beautiful floral aromas of lavender, violet, plum and blackcurrant, are
all in orbit around the wine’s dark savoury core of tightly wound
graphite, nori, coffee grounds, vanilla and tobacco. The palate is
intensely concentrated, with a superbright tension building freshness
and precision as layer upon layer of fine polished tannins give
pinpoint detail alongside signature, exacting, levels of finesse.
Coleraine
‘22 is a modern reprise of what make’s Coleraine iconic, a wine
balancing past and future, heritage and innovation. This is a statement
wine, one that lingers both on
the palate and in the mind.
