Please Note: Vintage may vary when delivered. We do our best to ensure the current vintage is displayed as soon as available, but variations can occur.

A classic Tasmanian traditional-method sparkling—elegant, fresh, and finely structured. Focused on purity, acidity, and subtle autolytic complexity rather than richness; very much in a restrained, Champagne-inspired style.

Winery Tasting Notes

Appearance

Bright pale gold with a youthful green hue; clear and luminous, indicating concentration and careful winemaking.

Nose

Complex and expressive. Aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, and ripe nectarine lead, layered with crème brûlée, toasted sourdough, vanilla, and hazelnut. Subtle mineral notes of flint and oyster shell add tension and sophistication.

Palate

Rich and commanding, yet finely balanced. Stone fruit (white peach, nectarine) and citrus drive the core, supported by savoury elements of almond meal, oatmeal, and light spice. There is a distinct saline/mineral edge that keeps the wine precise and energetic.

Texture & Structure

Medium to full-bodied with a creamy, layered texture from barrel fermentation and lees ageing (~11 months in French oak). A strong line of bright acidity cuts through the richness, creating tension and length, while subtle phenolic grip adds structure.

Finish

Long, persistent, and structured. Citrus (lemon/lime), fine oak spice, and mineral notes linger, with a slightly saline, mouth-watering close.

Winery Profile

Te Mata Estate is New Zealand’s oldest winery, dating from the early 1890s. It is a New Zealand family-owned winery – a true estate, specialising in grape growing and winemaking from its nine Hawke’s Bay vineyards. It is acknowledged as one of only five icon wineries in New Zealand.

Under the direction of John Buck, Te Mata Estate has, over nearly thirty years, produced a stunning array of red and white wines including famous labels such as Coleraine, Awatea cabernets/merlots, Bullnose syrah, Elston chardonnay, Cape Crest sauvignon blanc and, launched in 2009, Zara viognier. Te Mata Estate has also developed a unique single vineyard from which it produces its Woodthorpe wines.

Te Mata Estate makes wines from hand-harvested grapes from its own vineyards. These vineyards are all located in Hawkes Bay (within 40 minutes drive of the winery) and under the direct control of Te Mata Estate’s viticultural team.

Total land area: 600 acres (240 hectares). Total planted vineyard area: 300 acres (120 hectares).
