Coleraine 2022 Te Mata Estate

Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

"The 2022 Coleraine is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. On the nose, the wine shows its sweet creamy oak, a cavalcade of dark fruit and an array of spices. The wine is powdery and ultra fine, with a gravelly score of tannin woven through the finish. A spectacular wine, it’s still looking so primary and young at this early stage. I note the total acidity is akin to the 2013 vintage, and it serves to add an extra layer of freshness to the finish—a little uptick to close, if you will. This is awesome. It gets better every time I taste it." – RP 97+ Wine Advocate, July 2025 (temata.co.nz)

Originally released by Te Mata in 1982 as a single-vineyard wine, Coleraine was a bold statement of intent – an expression of what New Zealand red wine could become.

A gold-medal winner on its first release, it set a new benchmark for complexity, structure, and longevity, bringing together precision, blending artistry, and true cellar-worthiness. Its reputation has been built not only on longevity in the cellar, but on sustained critical acclaim and international recognition, with top scores, trophies, and inclusion among the world’s most collectable wines. Revered by critics, collectors, and peers alike, it has achieved a rare status: both a national icon and a global benchmark.

Forty vintages on, Coleraine stands as a testament to vision, patience, and the quiet authority of a wine that has never needed to announce its greatness – only to prove it year after year in the glass.

Established in 1896, Te Mata Estate remains family-owned, producing internationally recognised wines exclusively from its Hawke's Bay vineyards.
