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.
Te Mata Estate’s flagship Cabernet Merlot, Coleraine, has once again asserted its dominance at the top of New Zealand’s wine auction market. Long regarded as one of the country’s most collectable wines, Coleraine continues to make headlines for its consistent ability to command premium prices on the secondary market.
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.
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.
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.
Senior winemaker Phil Brodie takes Stephen Wong MW inside the barrel hall and cellar, where they taste the latest vintage wines straight from barrels and tanks. This episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the country’s greatest estates.
Congratulations to Nick Buck! Te Mata Estate’s CEO was recognised yesterday by Hawke’s Bay Winegrowers as a Fellow of Hawke’s Bay wine. This is due to Nick’s long-term commitment to fine wine in our region. He grew up working in wine and built more experience overseas before returning to Hawke’s Bay, remaining, and eventually becoming CEO of the estate.
Te Mata Estate sits beneath the Te Mata Peak in Hawke’s Bay, a place where New Zealand wine history is unusually tangible. Founded in the 1890s, the estate is often described as the country’s oldest winery – yet that claim is frequently misunderstood.
Starting Monday 21st February our new harvest is underway. Plain-sailing so far. Our thanks, as always, to our amazing picking crew!
