Te Mata Coleraine 2007
NZD $83.95 NZD $59.95
We see the return of what undoubtedly is one of the benchmark Bordeaux style wines in New Zealand. One of the key ingredients of Coleraine is perhaps its consistency from vintage to vintage and if New Zealand had a Bordeaux style classification, you would need to put Coleraine right at the top among the best. "The Coleraine '07 is a concentrated, dark crimson colour with complex characters of blackcurrant, black cherry, spiced plum, marzipan, and roses. Sustained tannins underpin a powerful palate structure with a very long, fine finish. Development Potential: 8-18 years from harvest."

Te Mata Awatea 2007

Alan McCorkindale Syrah 2006
NZD $39.95 NZD $34.95
A great new addition to Alan's portfolio and a great one it is! As you all mostly know that Alan really is one of the leading winemakers in the country mainly known for his whites but he was lucky enough to source this Syrah from Hawkes Bay and having tried it at various times frankly it’s up there with most New Zealand Syrah which sell for $70-$80. Beautiful purple colour boasting black pepper, dusted white pepper, black olive and a barrage of dark berry fruit. Drinking quite well now but also over the next 3-4 years.
