Te Mata Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Te Mata Cape Crest 2023 – New Zealand’s Benchmark Barrel-Fermented Sauvignon

A true icon of New Zealand winemaking, Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc is a masterclass in barrel fermentation and extended aging potential. Crafted primarily from Sauvignon Blanc, with a touch of Semillon and Sauvignon Gris, this Hawke’s Bay gem delivers incredible depth, texture, and longevity.

Aromatics

Vibrant and complex, the nose bursts with passionfruit flower, grapefruit, blackcurrants, gooseberry, fennel, and exotic spices.

Palate

Silky and rich, layers of succulent tropical fruit intertwine with delicate cardamom spice, leading to an exceptionally long, textured finish. Elegant and beautifully structured, this wine will continue to evolve for a decade or more.

Cellaring & Pairing

Drink now or cellar for 10+ years, where it will develop even greater complexity. Pairs brilliantly with fresh fish, seafood, or vibrant summer salads.
