Te Mata Estate Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

96/100  - Erin Larken, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 

96 POINTS Sam Kim | wineorbit.co.nz

ORIGIN: Cape Crest and its gannet symbol refer to Cape Kidnappers, the southern point of Hawke Bay, home to the world’s largest mainland colony of these remarkable marine birds.

This world-famous label is 88% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Sauvignon Gris and a 5% splash of Semillon, barrel fermented in new and seasoned French oak. It’s certainly a little bit different, it’s certainly very delicious! It’s loaded to the gunnels with an army of tropical fruit flavours like passionfruit, gooseberry, white nectarine, kaffir lime.

Like most Sauvignon this can be enjoyed young and fresh and best served chilled. But don’t be shy to throw a couple of bottles in the cellar, it should evolve nicely between 3-5 years from vintage.

96/100 (Erin Larken, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate) 
“Leads with pressed linen and Golden Delicious apples, white pepper, shaved fennel and a profusion of preserved citrus rind, which elevates the wine into the echelon of the great. This is a 360-degree drinking experience here. Excellent. This is one of the best Cape Crest releases.”

Alc: 13.0%
