The reposado is then aged 6-12 in medium charred American white oak and French oak barrels

it is powerful and age-worthy with a steely character and a grey-tinted aura to the faded rose-petal robe

fruit trees and pasture along with several structures including an old barn and a nearly 100 year old house

Te Mata Estate 'Coleraine' Hawke's Bay Red Blend 2018 GRENACHE BLANC The reposado is then agedA deep midnight magenta, Coleraine 2018 is symphonic in its harmony and presence. The aromatics are immediately varietal with grace notes of cassis, raspberry leaf, fresh roses, dark chocolate, lifted black cherry, espresso and cedar. The palate deepens the opening theme. Theres tapenade, darkest blackberry and ripe plum while underneath, quietly, a precise, profound tannin structure resonates. Powerful, deep set, graceful and complex, Coleraine 2018
