FIVE STARS 96/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Wonderfully weighted and focused... powerfully expressed with intensity and vibrancy"
94/100 | Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
After tasting this wine, our team says: The '24 is looking very bright and integrated with lush citrus (especially grapefruit) to the fore, and those zesty fruit flavours really start to shine as the wine opens up. It is so balanced that it's hard to wrap your head around that fact that this wine is 100% barrel fermented with a significant new oak component. A wonderful example of a wine that deserves a bigger following in our domestic market.
From the exceptional 2024 vintage, Te Mata Estate have once again captured the imagination of the world’s wine press with their important collection of showcase wines. Cape Crest '24 is a luscious blend of barrel fermented sauvignon blanc (86%), semillon (9%) and sauvignon gris (5%) that shines with signature ripeness and complexity. Please read the reviews below for more information on this storied release.

Tasting Notes
The 2024 is a blend of sauvignon blanc (86%), semillon (9%) and sauvignon gris (5%).
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front writes "These wines age very well. Juicy gooseberry, guava and pink grapefruit. It's lively, great texture here, some chalky things, a little gloss, blackcurrant, ripe grapefruit acid with a spicy finish of excellent length."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "The enticing bouquet showcases aromas of kaffir lime, mango, almond meal, and white flowers.
It’s wonderfully weighted and focused on the palate, delivering fleshy texture and beautifully pitched acidity, leading to a persistent, exuberant finish. It’s powerfully expressed with intensity and vibrancy, while remaining harmonious and elegant, with stunning precision and a great line and length."
The winery writes "White diamond at its core with flickering lemon lights, Cape Crest '24 opens with expressive grapefruit, lime blossom, and white currant, lifted by hints of guava and warm citrus brioche. Fine and long, the palate surges with layers of nectarine, lemon oil, and ripe tropical fruit threaded with notes of sea salt, flint, and subtle toasted cedar. Cape Crest '24 is layered, seamless, and beautifully focused with striking clarity and drive, delivering signature ripeness and complexity alongside a refreshing, long and mineral-edged finish."
