Log in / Sign up Te Mata Estate Coleraine Red 2023
Considered by many as NZ's greatest wine. The pedigree, the quality, Coleraine can stand toe to toe with any of the great Bordeaux blends in the world.
Te Mata Coleraine is simply the most iconic and collectable wine in all of New Zealand.
Sourced from the oldest, most established vineyard blocks across the Havelock Hills, Coleraine is always a wine of structure, depth, and longevity, designed to evolve over decades. The 2023 vintage comes off the back of a cooler season, bringing incredible clarity to the fruit and a more refined, classical frame.
Steak, lamb chops, and roast beef.
Cabernet Sauvignon leads the way, delivering cassis, graphite, and fine tannin, while Merlot and Cabernet Franc add plushness, spice, and floral lift. It’s precise and layered, with a balance between dark fruit intensity and an elegant, savoury backbone. There’s freshness too - an energy that keeps everything in check and hints at the decades of potential ahead. Oak is present but seamlessly woven in, supporting rather than dominating.
