From New Zealand’s oldest winery, established in 1896, this Hawke’s Bay pinot noir showcases estate-grown fruit with meticulous attention to balance and terroir. At 13% ABV, it offers medium-bodied generosity with serious intent, reflecting the winemaking pedigree that has made Te Mata a benchmark producer.

Nose: Bright aromas of ripe strawberry and cherry lead, with hints of dried herbs, clove spice, and floral notes creating a complex aromatic profile.

Palate: Generous and fruit-driven, the palate reveals silky tannins and fresh acidity supporting layers of red cherry, raspberry, and subtle pink peppercorn. Mouth-coating texture provides pinot’s signature plushness without losing energy or definition.

Finish: Long and mineral-driven, with fine supple tannins and lingering berry fruit balanced by a vibrant acid snap that keeps everything fresh and focused.

Pair this pinot noir with grilled salmon, roasted duck breast, or mushroom risotto for food-friendly versatility.

Serve lightly chilled at 13-15°C in large burgundy glasses to allow the aromatic complexity to unfold.

An excellent choice for pinot noir lovers seeking quality from a historic New Zealand estate at an approachable price, equally suited to midweek dining or thoughtful gifting.
