Te Mata Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Reviews
Erin Larkin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95/100. Leads with pressed linen and Golden Delicious apples, white pepper, shaved fennel and a profusion of preserved citrus rind, which elevates the wine into the echelon of the great. This is a 360-degree drinking experience here. Excellent. This is one of the best Cape Crest releases.
James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 94/100. This shows complex, subtle aromas of pears, kiwis and creme brulee as well as hints of fresh herbs. Coriander and fennel leaves. Medium- to full-bodied, this is creamy yet tangy with sliced and dried lemons and a long, flavorful finish. Excellent density but not at all heavy. ... Intense finish. Drink now.
Tasting Note:
With a brilliant pale straw colour, Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2023 entices with a captivating bouquet of lime zest, grapefruit, and a hint of cream soda. On the palate the wine surges with vibrancy and concentration showing gooseberry, yellow currants, and tropical fruit, all seamlessly interwoven with lingering notes of smoke, flint, and cedar. Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a layered, precise, and focused wine, without any compromise in its characteristic complexity, refreshing appeal and mouthwatering finish.

Additional information
Type: White wine
Varietals: 97% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Sauvignon Gris, 2% Sémillon.
Vineyards: Bullnose Vineyard and Woodthrope Terraces, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Most of the grapes are hand-picked in the company's relatively warm Bullnose Vineyard, inland from Hastings (the rest is grown at Woodthorpe, in the Dartmoor Valley), and the blend includes small proportions of Sémillon (to add longevity) and Sauvignon Gris (which contributes weight and mouthfeel). TThe fully ripe grapes for Cape Crest ’23 were hand harvested from individual plots within Te Mata Estate’s vineyards between 21 and 28 March 2023. The vine age varies, but on average the vines are 20-25 years old. The oldest component is a parcel of Semillon from 1994 and Sauvignon Blanc from 1990.
Winemaking: The separate parcels were each destemmed and lightly crushed, then cooled before a brief period of skin contact. Following pressing and cold-settling, they were run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for fermentation. The resulting wines were aged on lees, with regular stirring, for a further 11 months before bottling in February 2024.
The name: Cape Crest and its gannet symbol refer to Cape Kidnappers, the southern point of Hawke Bay, home to the world’s largest mainland colony of these remarkable marine birds.
