Vintage Reports

  • Top 20 Wines of NZ 2025

    By

    Te Mata Estate is immensely proud to have not one but two wines named among James Suckling’s Top 20 Wines of the Year – a rare honour in the global world of fine wine. Coleraine Cabernet Merlot 2023 and Elston Chardonnay 2024 sit alongside some of the most celebrated wines on the country, marking a moment of recognition that reflects decades of dedication, vision, and craftsmanship. For any winery, placement in this list is a remarkable achievement; for a single estate to appear twice in the Top 20 is extraordinary.

  • Vintage 2024 – the holy grail?

    By

    Vintage is, for us, a celebration of the reflection of time and our terroir—each one distinct, each one shaped by the land, people, and nature. In 2024, we had time to find poise. It was an incredible vintage, producing beautifully balanced wines —powerful yet restrained, and deeply thought-provoking. A vintage that rewarded precision. Each pick, each parcel, each ferment was handled with a jeweller’s attention to detail – a deliberate pursuit of purity. The result is a range of extraordinary wines.

  • Multi-Generational Wine

    By

    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.

  • What is French Oak?

    By

    Discover how Te Mata Estate uses premium French oak barrels to craft elegant, age worthy wines. Learn about our oak programs, cooperage partnerships, and the tradition of barrel aging that has shaped Te Mata wines for more than 130 years.

  • Vintage 2023 – New Frontiers

    By

    2023 will be a lesson in “never count your chickens before they’re hatched.” It was a season that took Te Mata to new frontiers, and one we can’t wait to share with you. An extreme year setting new records on multiple fronts, 2023 was the: longest growing season ever (budburst to harvest +10% longer than LTA) and the lowest yielding (-30% on LTA).

  • Vintage 2022 – Experience Reaped Rewards

    By

    A memorable, incredibly early vintage, with significant highlights and some challenging moments. It resulted in wines with great varietal expression, restraint, tension, power, and length. Winter – Spring Winter was warm and dry. This led to an early bud burst and the earliest veraison in the last 30 years.

  • 2021 – The One

    By

    A historically early and dry vintage that produced low crops with tiny berries, creating exceptional wines with fragrance, tension, purity, power, and persistence… the tricky part will be having the patience to enjoy them at their peak! The whites showed great intensity and tension, with wonderful natural acidity, and the reds are deeply coloured with plenty of purity.

  • 2020 – A Perfect Vision

    By

    2020 was simply perfect. With low rainfall and fabulous weather 2020 will go down in the history books as one of the best on record. In fact, according to Te Mata Estate CEO Nick Buck – this is the best in Te Mata’s history.

  • 2019 ‘Early. Easy & Exciting’

    By

    2019 was a warm, dry, easy grape-growing season that has produced some of our most exciting results yet. We’re excited to get these out. Time will tell, but this could be one of our best.

  • 2018 ‘Vintage Dynamite’

    By

    With an exceptionally warm, classic, long summer – Vintage 2018 gave us an explosion of flavour and colour! Read the technical report from Senior Winemaker Peter Cowley here…
