Widely regarded as a benchmark of Hawke’s Bay fine wine, Coleraine combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc in a style that balances power, elegance, and exceptional ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFruit for the 2024 release was sourced from Te Mata Estate’s oldest vineyard sites in Hawke’s Bay, where free-draining gravel soils and a warm maritime climate provide ideal conditions for Bordeaux varieties. The vintage delivered fruit of outstanding concentration and purity, while retaining freshness and structural precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn the winery, parcels were fermented separately with careful extraction to preserve varietal character and tannin finesse. Maturation took place in French oak barrels, including a significant proportion of new oak, allowing the wine to gain complexity, depth, and seamless integration before final blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe wine reveals a deeply layered bouquet of blackcurrant, cassis, dark plum, and blackberry, intertwined with notes of cedar, graphite, tobacco leaf, dried herbs, and subtle spice. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and impeccably structured, showing concentrated dark fruit, vibrant acidity, and finely grained tannins that carry through a long, savoury finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eStill youthful and tightly framed, the 2024 Coleraine will reward extended cellaring over 20–35+ years, developing further complexity and tertiary character with time. Decanting is recommended if enjoyed in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eA truly iconic New Zealand Cabernet Merlot blend and a cornerstone wine for collectors seeking pedigree, structure, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53332135149931,"sku":"1330187970","price":142.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/2023TeMataEstateColeraine_00889d5b-130b-4600-8b21-43b21c750ce6.png?v=1780388891","url":"https:\/\/kingsburycellars.com.au\/products\/2024-te-mata-estate-coleraine-cabernet-merlot-750ml","provider":"Kingsbury Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
