Other Reds

Barossa Valley, South Australia.  Deep crimson in colour this wine is bursting with ripe cherry, blackcurrants and complex five-spice aromas. The palate is an intriguing blend of red-fruit flavours and savoury undertones supported by a rounded and fleshy mid palate. The wine finishes with excellent length and freshness which ensures optimum drinking upon release but will mature well for the medium term...

Margaret River, Western Australia. Margaret River is arguably Australia’s premier Cabernet grape growing region and Cabernet Sauvignon is without doubt Margaret River’s greatest natural asset. Great Cabernet should be both perfumed and poised...

Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz fermented in 150 year old open oak vats, then a period of maturation in French and American oak. The bouquet is a mélange of ripe dark berries and multilayered spice; with nutmeg, star anise, blackcurrant and plum fruits on a robust palate.

Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. Coleraine ’23 is apex cabernet, a singular wine that could only result from a remarkable vintage. Combining an unequalled harvest, cutting-edge winemaking technology, and 127 years of fine wine pedigree, Coleraine ’21 stands alone – a wine of unique provenance even by Te Mata Estate’s exacting standards...
