In the realm of fine wine, Coleraine is Te Mata’s crowning jewel – a cabernet sauvignon that embodies the essence of the variety’s title: The King of Grapes.

The latest vintage, the illustrious 2023, reigns supreme with a level of expression and finesse as robust as its lineage. A stately example of coastal cabernet, the Coleraine ’23 harmonises intricate varietal notes with an elegant structure and a power that feels both balanced and commanding.

Te Mata’s cabernet collection, sourced from seven noble selections across 24 vineyard parcels, is majestic in the Coleraine ’23 blend, commanding a regal 80% of the composition. Joined by 15% merlot and a 5% touch of cabernet franc, this royal assembly reflects the multitude of soil types and vineyard sites that define our sub-regions. Coleraine is New Zealand’s greatest red wine.

Considered by many as NZ's greatest and most collectible wine. The pedigree, the quality, Coleraine can stand toe to toe with any of the great Bordeaux blends in the world.

The acidity is perfectly pitched and provides freshness to this long-living wine. A wine of meticulous precision and undeniable sophistication."
