Tasting Note:
Radiant in brilliant magenta, the Estate Syrah '24 immediately captivates with its depth and intensity. Aromas of ripe red and dark fruits unfold – plum, morello cherry, blueberry, and a hint of black pepper – layered with warm notes of nutmeg and cinnamon. A delicate floral lift of perfumed violets, intertwined with French vanilla and a whisper of espresso, brings balance and finesse. It embodies the textural elegance and expressive character of Hawke's Bay – structured, alluring, and unmistakably of its place. Estate Syrah '24 is a compelling statement, both enchanting and refined.

Reviews for Te Mata Estate Syrah 2024:
Christina Pickard
Wine Enthusiast
An excellent intro to the distinctive style of this historic, “grand cru” NZ producer, and outstanding quality for the price, this Hawke's Bay Syrah opens with a bouquet of blueberry fruit, ground pepper, sage, crushed purple flowers, even a little chocolate. There's a juicy approachability on the palate that's reined in by fine, sandpapery tannins. Signature savory spice characters linger on the finish. Drink now-2034.
Gary Walsh
The Wine Front
Blue fruit, toasted nuts, a fair bit of aromatic black pepper, biscuit spices, some liquorice. It’s medium-bodied, blue and black fruits, a light grainy grip with bright acidity and some dried herb and chicory bitterness on a finish of good length. Nice wine. Has a fair bit of energy. Drink: 2026 - 2030.
Additional information
Varietal: Syrah
Food match: Estate Syrah is a wonderful accompaniment to all red meats, savoury and lightly spiced dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, as well as soft cheeses.

Winemaking: The individual parcels of syrah from each plot were destemmed for fermentation and remained on skins for extended maceration before pressing.

The wine received a traditional egg white fining before bottling.
