Tasting Notes
Internationally-acclaimed Te Mata Estate, renowned for its impeccable pedigree of wines. Crafted with precision and passion, this vintage embodies the essence of Pinot Noir, showcasing elegance, depth, and complexity. With a vibrant ruby hue and enticing aromas of ripe red berries, cherries, and subtle floral notes, this wine captivates the senses from the very first pour. On the palate, layers of flavors unfold gracefully, revealing ripe plum, raspberry, and hints of spice, beautifully balanced by soft tannins and a delicate acidity. The finish is long-lasting, leaving a lingering impression of finesse and sophistication. 2021 was a definitive growing season; the earliest ever bud break on Te Mata Estate’s vineyards led to the earliest ever harvest. This warm, dry, and historic vintage yielded an abundance of very small berries providing great concentration, and producing wines of exceptional purity, power, tension and persistence. This is an absolute original.
