TE MATA SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023

From Hawke's Bay's sun-soaked terraces, sustainable producer Te Mata Estate crafts this exceptional Sauvignon Blanc from historic vineyards established in 1896, where north-facing hillsides and maritime influence from the Pacific Ocean create ideal conditions for New Zealand's signature grape variety. This family-owned estate continues to farm the same three original vineyard parcels planted by Bernard Chambers, employing sustainable practices that preserve the unique character of Hawke's Bay's diverse soils and climate. The brilliant white gold wine bursts with tropical aromas of guava, pineapple, and passionfruit alongside ripe grapefruit and Key lime, delivering a concentrated, layered palate of nectarine and white peach with a distinctive sea-salt minerality and moreish acidity that creates a mouth-watering, thirst-quenching finish.
