It makes a range of wines from classic varieties like Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, but is best known for its Bordeaux blends, and in particular Coleraine, which is one of New Zealand's most collectable wines. The estate was originally part of the Te Mata Station, a landholding established by John Chambers in 1854. In the 1890s, his son Bernard began planting the north-facing hills around the estate to vine and converted the stables to a winery. Te Mata, named for the neighboring Te Mata Peak (Te Mata O Rongokako), was established in 1896. Te Mata has vineyards throughout the Hawke's Bay. The estate itself is in the Havelock Hills, and has around 15 hectares (37 acres) worth of vines across five vineyards just outside the town of Havelock North. These are on north-facing slopes with free-draining alluvial soils, and are well-suited to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Coleraine is made from grapes from the best plots of these vineyards. In addition to this, Te Mata also has a 210-hectare (520-acre) vineyard in the Woodthorpe Terraces subregion (part of the wider Tutaekuri River valley in northern Hawke's Bay) and in the Bridge Pa Triangle (both the smaller, 15-hectare\/37 acre Bullnose and Isosceles vineyards are located here). Te Mata's latest vineyard acquisitions include two plots in the warmer Gimblett Gravels winegrowing area. In terms of wines, Te Mata's flagship label is Coleraine, a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, with a proportion of Merlot and Cabernet Franc that changes depending on the vintage conditions. It is aged for up to 20 months in predominantly new French oak.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-01T15:45:50-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-21T05:00:38-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_New Zealand","nini2102","Other_Wine","Producer_Te Mata Estate","Region_Hawke`s Bay","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":9270000,"price_min":9270000,"price_max":9270000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42793908666506,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Te Mata Estate | Elston Chardonnay","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":9270000,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41_0563432a-b3d2-48ef-89c6-758693e8a317.png?v=1676973685"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41_0563432a-b3d2-48ef-89c6-758693e8a317.png?v=1676973685","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Te Mata Estate | Elston Chardonnay at CaskCartel.com","id":24261936349322,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.343,"height":839,"width":288,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41_0563432a-b3d2-48ef-89c6-758693e8a317.png?v=1676973685"},"aspect_ratio":0.343,"height":839,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41_0563432a-b3d2-48ef-89c6-758693e8a317.png?v=1676973685","width":288}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2019 | Te Mata Estate | Elston Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 is a superb vintage, offering up aromas of fresh golden nectarines, passionfruit and grilled pineapple.
