The bouquet shows cassis, dark plum, bouquet garni, baking spice, rich floral, and cedar characters. It’s concentrated with exceptional depth and mouthcoating texture, wonderfully framed by finely polished tannins. It’s perfectly proportioned and gracefully powerful, combining scintillating fruit purity with seductive complexity. The wine flows seamlessly to a persistent, structured finish. This is a masterpiece\" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cspan\u003eDeep and bright, bold purple-red colour; fabulous cranberry, violet and cassis aromas, the fruit bursting from the glass. The same flavours saturate the palate which is beautifully balanced by abundant fine-grained tannins that run the full length of the palate and provide a very long lasting and resonant farewell. Oak is so well handled as to be only just perceptible, adding to the cedary touches. An utterly delicious cabernet blend and a top vintage of this wine\" Huon Hooke, The Real Review, Feb 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Superlative balance. Aromas of blackberries, currants, blueberries, graphite and dark tobacco with hints of bark, violets and licorice. Medium bodied with ultra-fine velvety tannins and a seamless, cashmere texture. So caressing and polished. Bright and vivid at the end. 58% cabernet sauvignon. 31% merlot and 11% cabernet franc. Will be released March 1. You could drink this tonight and enjoy it, but it will age\" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com, Jan 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Deep ruby with a purple rim. Quite closed and reticent until given considerable aeration and time in the glass. Once unfurled, this displays impressive amounts of restrained power, depth and persistence. The compact core of blackcurrant, rose and raspberry is swaddled in gossamer layers cedar, dried tobacco, freshly ground coffee, dried orange peel and wet stone. Everything is precisely balanced and polished to sleekness; the firmly structural tannins and oak completely submerged and velvety. Majestically long yet not a blockbuster, the finish unfolds like a symphony, reprising every nuance and flavour hidden within its youthful shell, equal parts power, elegance and poise. Arguably approachable now but it will be considerably better with a few years in bottle\" Stephen Wong, The Real Review\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"This vintage puts me in mind of the mighty 2020; that sort of depth and concentration, though it has some of the acid cut of 2021 in the mix too. An exceptional wine. It will keep, probably, for as long as you want to keep it, if you can keep your hands off it, that is\" Gary Walsh, Dec 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA deep, brilliant crimson with a vibrant purple core, Coleraine ’24 opens with an alluring bouquet of fresh roses, cassis, dark cherries and blackberries. Layers of dark chocolate, nori, black olive and subtle cedar add complexity, while lifted florals and a savoury coastal nuance enhance its depth, precision and beauty. On the palate, a concentrated wave of red and dark fruit flows over velvety, cocoa powder textures, as expansive, silky tannins weave seamlessly through the wine. This enormity of scale is highlighted by a fine, focused acid line that drives through to a finish of exceptional length. With immense power held in delicate restraint, Coleraine ‘24 is destined to unfurl over decades. Coleraine ’24 is closed with a Diam 30 cork and will evolve in the bottle for at least 15 years from harvest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColeraine 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. A single vineyard wine until 1989, Coleraine is an assemblage of the finest wines produced from distinct plots within Te Mata Estate’s oldest vineyards first planted in 1892.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColeraine is New Zealand’s most famous red wine. First produced in 1982, this classic  blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc displays the concentration, complexity and elegance found in the world’s finest wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes for Coleraine ’24 were hand harvested from Te Mata Estate’s Hawke’s Bay vineyards between 31 March and 8 April 2024.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach parcel of grapes was destemmed before a traditional warm-plunged fermentation and extended maceration on skins. The resulting wines were then run to predominately new French oak barrels for 19 months’ maturation, with 70% being new oak. Throughout this time, they were regularly topped and racked. The assemblage was made in November 2024 and the finished wine was bottled in December 2025. The final blend is 58% cabernet sauvignon, 31% merlot and 11% cabernet franc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EuroVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51443424854333,"sku":"TE1COLER24","price":449.97,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/25847-1.jpg?v=1744063425","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/te-mata-estate-coleraine-hawkes-bay-2024","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
