    The 35th release of New Zealand’s most famous red wine is here – in a super sized 3 Litre Jeroboam (Double Magnum) format bottle! It was 120 years ago that Te Mata planted Cabernet vines in the Havelock Hills in Hawke’s Bay, Coleraine was first produced in 1982 and today  is widely thought of as one of the best red wines produced in NZ.

    There’s a lot to get excited about with this 2019 vintage release – a vintage that the guys at Te Mata call “a fairytale vintage” while Master of Wine Bob Campbell says this 2019 is “one of the best vintages I’ve tasted.”

    Using all estate grown fruit and bottled on the estate too, nothing is left to chance. Aged 16 months in French oak the final blend of Coleraine ’19 is 59% Cabernet, 37% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. It is every bit the world class wine you come to expect – high concentration, high energy, complexity, power and elegance. Boy, this is some wine!

    Te Mata’s meticulous attention to detail year after year does not go unnoticed around the world that’s for sure. Decanter magazine declared Coleraine as “New Zealand’s First Growth”, a phrase in reference to the top wines of Bordeaux based on reputation and price. The massive praise doesn’t end there either…

    “All changed when Coleraine hit the market. No one had dreamed such a wine could be made from New Zealand grapes” – Bob Campbell MW
    “A national treasure” – Jancis Robinson MW
    “New Zealand’s greatest red wine” – Raymond Chan
    “Wine legend – the most avidly collected of New Zealand red wines” – Decanter magazine
    “A legendary Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend of New Zealand” – James Suckling
    “I would have no hesitation placing it within the class of Bordeaux second growths” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

    5 Stars, 98/100 (Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review)
    “An iconic brand meets a terrific vintage. The result is a “must have” wine for collectors and investors. This is elegance on a grand scale and one of the best vintages I’ve tasted.”

    5 Stars, 100/100 (Sam Kim)
    “Destined for a long life, this majestic offering shows cassis, dark plum, hint of tobacco, cedar and floral aromas on the nose. The palate is packed with rich fruit intensity combined with layers of silky texture and complex flavours, wonderfully supported by perfectly pitched chalky tannins, making it sturdy and structured with a seemingly endless finish. Flawless and spellbinding.”

    If you’re a Coleraine collector it’s another must have to lay your mits on. If Coleraine is yet to sit in your cellar – what better time to start than now. This is the wine that made history and broke records not so long ago with a thirty-two vintage collection fetching an eye watering $19,000 at auction – almost $600 per bottle! Cha-ching!

    Named after the town in Northern Ireland where Te Mata Estate owner John Buck’s grandfather was born and first produced in 1982. This famous Bordeaux style red is presented in individually wrapped in Coleraine branded, vintage dated tissue (presented in swanky Coleraine branded wooden box) and will comfortably sit in your cellar for 10-15 years.
