Te Mata Cape Crest is a prestigious wine, crafted in a barrel-fermented style. The exceptional 2022 vintage features a blend of 87% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Semillon, and 4% Sauvignon Gris. The ripe, concentrated tropical fruit from Hawke’s Bay harmonizes with the French oak, resulting in a wine of finesse, elegance, and remarkable concentration. While it’s outstanding in its youth, this wine will continue to evolve beautifully for at least a decade.
Aromas: Distinct notes of passionfruit flower, grapefruit, blackcurrant, Eastern spices, gooseberry, and fennel.
Palate: The wine offers an incredible texture and richness, with hints of cardamom that complement the luscious tropical fruit. Beautifully spiced with a long, lingering finish. Enjoy it now, or cellar it for 10+ years.
