New Zealand’s most revered red wine
The name Coleraine is derived from the Coleraine vineyard, home of John and Wendy Buck of Te Mata Estate. John’s late grandfather was born in Coleraine in Northern Ireland and the name has survived from the family seat to this great New Zealand wine. Originally a single-vineyard wine, Coleraine has been an assemblage of the finest wines since 1989, coming from various plots of Te Mata Estate’s oldest vineyards in the Havelock Hills. Each grape plot was destemmed before a traditional mash fermentation with prolonged maceration took place on the skins. The resulting wines were then aged for 17 months in predominantly new French oak barriques. During this time, they were regularly replenished and refilled. The final blend consists of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.
And this is how the Coleraine from Te Mata tastes
The top wine from the Hawke’s Bay region. The Te Mata Coleraine seduces with an intense, multi-layered scent of cassis, black cherry, raspberry leaves and smoky-roasted notes, chocolate, espresso and cedar wood. On the palate, this red wine offers a great depth and complexity, red fruits continue wonderfully, accompanied by mocha, a firm, delicate acidity and smooth tannins give the wine structure. An excellent wine, with finesse, exceptional length and a great development potential of at least 12 years.

And the Coleraine from Te Mata goes well with this
The Te Mata Colerain is a real meditation wine, but especially with short-fried or grilled meat of beef, lamb or game a revelation. Try it with Entrecôte Sous Vide with French potato gratin and green beans.

"Coleraine is, perhaps, my favourite red wine produced south of the equator. Exquisite perfume over purple silk sheets of dense tannin. Roll in them. Luxuriate in the quality on off er here, now, and for decades to come. Black fruit, raspberry coulis, sweet rolling tobacco, hazelnut, roses, nutmeg and paprika. It’s tightly packed, with a distinct ‘mineral’ feel to the acidity, concentrated but light on its feet. Dark chocolate and subtle leafy fragrance, long and powerful through the fi nish, with a deliciously adult walnut burr to close. Magnificent." -Gary Walsh, The Winefront, February 2020, 97/100 points
"Very deep, concentrated, bright purple/red colour. The bouquet is exquisite with a multitude of black fruits, blueberry, cassis, violet and cedar aromas, and much more besides. The detail is outstanding, as is the intensity of the palate. It’s very concentrated and powerful, firmly-structured and has tremendous persistence. The tannins are firm and abundant and will help guarantee a long life, but they are ripe and accessible and the wine is already approachable. (52% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot, 15% cabernet franc) 2023–2048." -Huon Hooke, The Real Review, February 2020, 98/100 points
"Bright, youthful blended red of cabernet sauvignon (52%), merlot (33%) and cabernet franc (15%). This is classic Coleraine with cassis, cedar, floral, blueberry, a suggestion of wood-smoke, anise and spicy oak flavours. Terrific depth and an exquisite balance between fruit sweetness and acid/tannin structure. It will be a long-distance runner. Drink 2019 to 2028." -Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, March 2020, 98/100 points
