Te Mata Estate Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2021

A bright and pale straw colour, Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc ’21 immediately offers up notes of guava, lime juice, white nectarine and white peach, that all lead into a palate exploding with tropical fruit, salinity, and a fine, crystalline acidity. The perfect match for a plump fresh oyster in its half shell, the complexing notes of woodsmoke, grapefruit and juniper in Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc ’21 make it satisfy now yet more than capable of ageing. Moreish and complex, this a wine of immense reward.

Te Mata Estate owned vineyards in Hawkes Bay from the following sub-regions - Bridge Pa Triangle, Dartmoor Valley and Havelock Hills.

The fully ripe grapes for Cape Crest ’21 were hand harvested from individual plots within Te Mata Estate’s vineyards between 1 and 8 March 2021.

Cape Crest ’21 will continue to evolve in the bottle for 10 years from harvest.
