Te Mata Estate's Coleraine releases are a thing of legend, representing New Zealand winemaking at its absolute pinnacle. Described as "New Zealand's greatest red wine", the name Coleraine is synonymous with power, finesse and length.
This ex-private cellar purchase presents Coleraine enthusiasts with a rare opportunity to add the 2011 vintage to their collection. This wine has been cellared with extreme care and is just now entering its optimum drinking window. Buy with complete confidence.
Truly iconic - this is an essential investment for any connoisseur of fine New Zealand wines.
This wine comes from an ex-private cellar purchase. All the wines purchased have been stored correctly and we can vouch for their cellar provenance. We have no reason to think that this wine will not be in perfect condition when you open it but, please note that because we were not the original purchaser of this wine, our usual ‘no questions asked’ guarantee does not apply and we are unable to replace or refund your purchase should the wine be faulty in any way.

Stephen Wong MW writes "Beautifully perfumed expression—floral, cedar, elegant, with sweet, spicy oak well-measured. Great balance of acidity and tannins against alcohol. Refined, late tannins."
Bob Campbell MW writes "Fine, elegant and quite tight red with layers of flavour. 72% Cabernet gives the wine a cedarwood, blackberry and olive character and fine backbone of ripe tannins. More vinous than fruity. A distinctive and restrained wine from what was a challenging vintage. Great length."
