Te Mata Estate

A family owned Estate on very fertile Vineyards. This region in Hawkes Bay is shielded by mountain to the West, but utilises its maritime climate well, with the help of low rainfall annually. Their Vineyard is one of the first legally protected areas, vines having been planted in 1892.

Mesmerizingly fragrant with aromas of pineapple, peach and lemon. On the palate the lemon aroma bursts into a juicy lemon curd. The fresh acidity is balanced with vanilla, cashew and a hint of smoke. A lovely dry finish.

Drink with white meat or seafood

Tank fermentation maintains the lively aroma and emphasises the fruit forward style. Followed by barrel maturation on gross lees and malolactic fermentation to add creaminess , structure and complexity of flavour
