Something iconic happened in London recently, in the Red Room at the Pavilion Hotel in Knightsbridge. Te Mata Estate held a tasting of fifteen vintages of Coleraine, stretching back more than forty years. It was an extraordinary opportunity to look at innovation and continuation within Coleraine’s development, and how the wine has evolved over four decades.
Our updated Te Mata Estate Cellaring Guide is released every six months and based on tastings from our own cellar, reviewed by our winemaking and management teams. It offers guidance on how our wines evolve over time and highlights optimal drinking windows. The guide reflects our long-standing commitment to crafting wines that reward patience and careful cellaring.
Each vintage is a celebration of time and our terroir. Each one is distinct, each one is shaped by the land, people, and nature. In 2024, we had time to find poise. It was an remarkable harvest, producing beautifully balanced wines with elegance, power and restraint. From a remarkable harvest, we are immensely proud of these deeply thought-provoking wines.
There is something quietly magical about a bottle of wine that does more than mark a moment. It becomes part of a story that can stretch across decades. At Te Mata Estate, this idea is not romantic fantasy. It is a living tradition built on craftsmanship, place, and time.
Modern Te Mata Estate is led by CEO Nick Buck and Senior Winemaker Phil Brodie, who oversee our approach to winemaking. Read an insight from former Te Mata Estate Chairman John Buck (CNZM for Services to Wine and the Arts) on why the estate’s meticulous method is so distinctive.
‘Aotearoa produces premium wine that tops the award charts globally. For this reason, many wine enthusiasts will have the first of March pencilled in their calendars, and quite rightly so, as it is the annual release of Te Mata Estate’s flagship Coleraine.
‘A collection of 37 Te Mata Estate wine bottles was bought twice at the Hawke’s Bay Wine Auction after the initial purchaser generously donated the collection back to be resold. The event raised $335,697 in support of Cranford Hospice, beating the 2023 auction, which raised $300,000.’
Thanks to Sam Buck for letting us know about this, and to Beauden Barrett and SkySportNow for letting us share.
