Te Mata Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Te Mata's nod to Bordeaux Blanc, Cape Crest isn't just a Sauvignon Blanc, its a lesson the the greatness of the varietal when treated like a fine wine.
Ā
In their words - Cape Crest is a blend of 87% Sauvignon Blanc, 9% Sauvignon Gris and 4% Semillon with 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 complex notes of woodsmoke, grapefruit and juniper make a Moreish wine of immense reward.
Ā
Critics thoughts - Leads with pressed linen and GoldenĀ Delicious apples, white pepper, shavedĀ fennel and a profusion of preserved citrusĀ rind, which elevates the wine into theĀ echelon of the great. This is a 360-degreeĀ drinking experience here. Excellent.Ā This is one of the best Cape Crest releases.Ā Erin Larkin 95 Points The Wine Advocate
