Te Mata Bullnose 2023 – A Benchmark for Hawke’s Bay Syrah
Crafted by the same award-winning team behind Coleraine, Te Mata’s Bullnose Syrah has long been celebrated for its elegance, exotic spice, and purity. Named after the classic Morris "Bullnose" car, this wine stands apart from its Hawke’s Bay counterparts by embracing a refined, perfumed, and silky style. Awarded 97 points by Wine Orbit, this is a must-have for Syrah lovers.
Aromatics
An alluring bouquet of raspberry, rose petals, incense, and peppery spice, with a touch of cedary oak adding depth.
Palate
Elegance meets power—layers of red fruits, plums, and spice flow seamlessly across the palate, supported by a fine yet firm tannic structure. The finish is long, precise, and utterly refined, showcasing the finesse that makes Bullnose an icon.
Cellaring & Pairing
Drink now or cellar through 2030+, where it will continue to develop further complexity. A perfect match for five-spiced duck breast or slow-roasted pork belly, this is New Zealand Syrah at its finest.
