About The Wine
Here's a great value Gamay from one of New Zealand's top teir winemaking estates.
Around half the wine was fermented as whole berries (as is the tradition in the variety's spiritual home of Beaujolais). This has resulted in a light-bodied, high-toned juicy red that works perfectly with a slight chill.
It's a wine that you can enjoy any night of the week.
Spot on release from Te Mata and a joy to drink.
About Te Mata Estate
Te Mata Estate has one of the richest winemaking histories in all of New Zealand.
With vineyards planted back as far as 1896, the rich history of this iconic Hawke's Bay producer is enviable in the relatively young NZ wine landscape.
Their wines come exclusively from carefully selected sites across Hawke's Bay. The aim to craft classic, structural wines that are comparable to the very best the world has to offer.
The Te Mata Estate Coleraine is considered by many as NZ's premier Bordeaux blend. A shining jewel in the crown of the Hawke's Bay region.

From The Producer
The unique ‘maceration carbonique’ fermentation, which enhances the fruit and floral aromas of the wine, was used for 65% of the grapes. The other 35% received a traditional, warm, red wine fermentation. The resulting wines completed their malolactic fermentation and were matured for nine weeks in seasoned French oak barrels, before blending and bottling.
Silky, stylish, and simply stunning.

Critic Reviews
"Dark cherry, ripe strawberry and spice, toasted hazelnuts with a bloody meat character. It’s juicy, a bit savoury too, with light tannin, spicy poached strawberries, bright acidity, and a finish of good length. In short, it’s a good glass of Gamay, more in to the ‘fun times’ zone, over serious structured style, but altogether pleasing in that way." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Can coupons and discounts be stacked? No, only one discount or coupon can be applied to an order at once.
I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine. So for example, if the website will only allow you to add 3 bottles and no more, then that is all we have of that particular wine. The good news is we may be able to order more for you. Just contact us on 02 8376 8775 or hello@differentdrop.com and we'll organise the additional quantity for you.
