Te Mata Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml

We all know that it’s Marlborough that flies the flag on the international scene for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. But Te Mata Estate Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc has been getting wine buffs in every corner of the globe giddy with excitement upon its release every year since its first vintage in 1984.

The 2020 is a remarkable Cape Crest; palest lemon and brilliant in the glass. Luscious citrus and succulent stone fruit slide effortlessly towards a precise and lingering finish of gooseberry, lime and sea salt. Among all the ripe and pure fruit on the palate floats crunchy acidity and complexing grace-notes of dill, coriander, beeswax and woodsmoke. Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc ’20 is a signature example, with drive, moreish appeal and elegance to spare.

Cape Crest ’20 will continue to evolve in the bottle for 10 years from harvest
