Te Mata Coleraine Magnum 1.5L 2023

Winemaking
Coleraine 2023 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, hand-harvested from Te Mata’s oldest hillside vineyards. The wine is fermented in closed-top tanks and aged in new French oak barriques. In magnum format, it promises extended longevity and a more gradual evolution—ideal for collectors and celebratory cellaring.

Bouquet
Complex and perfumed with blackcurrant, dark cherry, and cassis. Aromas of cedar, graphite, violet, and spice rise from the glass with refined intensity, hinting at the depth and age-worthiness within.

Palate
Full-bodied yet finely structured, with seamless integration of fruit, acidity, and oak. Dark berry fruit is supported by layers of liquorice, bay leaf, cocoa, and savoury spice. The tannins are fine-grained and persistent, guiding the wine to an exceptionally long, balanced finish.

Food Pairing
An outstanding match for roast beef, venison, lamb racks, truffle risotto, or hard aged cheeses. Perfect for a long table with shared, slow-cooked meals.

Cellaring
In magnum, Coleraine 2023 will age effortlessly over 20+ years. The larger format ensures a slower, more graceful evolution—perfect for milestone moments or laying down for future generations.

Interesting Fact
Produced only in exceptional vintages, Coleraine is widely regarded as New Zealand’s greatest red wine. The magnum format amplifies both its grandeur and longevity—making it a centerpiece in any fine wine cellar.
