The unique ‘maceration carbonique’ fermentation, which enhances the fruit and
floral aromas of the wine, was used for 70% of the grapes. The other 30% received
a traditional, warm, red wine fermentation. The resulting wines completed their
malolactic fermentation and were matured for eight weeks in seasoned French oak
barrels, before blending and bottling.

Te Mata Tasting Note
Estate Gamay Noir ’24 is a deep candy red, bursting with ripe red fruit appeal and laden with detail. On the nose it’s all cherry, strawberry and ripe, fresh raspberry with the complexing notes of marzipan, cinnamon and liquorice. There’s a lush French vanilla creaminess on the palate, with length, a little dryness, and a splash of sweet red-fruit acidity. This structure, and the fine-grained tannins add further dimension to the juicy red fruit and spice. Estate Gamay Noir ’24 is a classic Te Mata example – simply delicious!
