Tasting Note:
Brilliant crimson with a vibrant purple hue, the Estate Syrah '25 is bright, perfumed, and immediately inviting. Aromas of raspberry coulis, boysenberry, and warm blackberry syrup are layered with notes of violets, peppercorn, cinnamon, and hints of char. Soft, dense, and medium-bodied, the palate combines ripe red and dark fruits with creamy, dark chocolate-like tannins and balanced acidity that brings energy, focus, and texture. Instantly approachable and immensely satisfying, Estate Syrah '25 flows to a long finish with lingering spice, vanilla, and berry richness.

Reviews for Te Mata Estate Syrah 2025:
David Walker Bell
WineFolio
A Hawke’s Bay Syrah – something that the region is developing a growing reputation for. Te Mata use fruit from their own vineyards exclusively even for this entry-level tier of wines. Parcels of destemmed fruit came from three sub-regions – Dartmoor, Bridge Pā Triangle and Gimblett Gravels; harvested between 1 and 10 April 2025. A bright crimson-purple colour in the glass. Varietally-pure scents of boysenberry, black plum, bramble with baking spices, white pepper and violets florals adding to the complex, layered bouquet. Medium-bodied and well-structured, in a fruit-forward and ready to drink style. Supple tannin, clean acidity, velvet texture and a touch of barrel spice merge through the palate, flowing to a rich finish with more spice and a touch of chocolate.
