Description
Coleraine derives its name from the Coleraine vineyard, home of John and Wendy Buck of Te Mata Estate.
John’s late grandfather was born in Coleraine in Northern Ireland and the name has been maintained through the family home to the wine.
Originally a single vineyard wine, from 1989 Coleraine has been an assemblage of the finest wines produced from distinct plots within Te Mata Estate’s oldest vineyards on the Havelock Hills.
Made from 59% cabernet sauvignon with merlot and cabernet franc.
Ripe, cassis and berry flavours with a seasoning of spice.
This wine represents elegance on a grand scale and is on one of the best vintage I’ve tasted.
It has plushness and power with great potential.
