Producentens noter (engelsk): The fully ripe grapes for Cape Crest ’24 were hand harvested from Te Mata Estate’s Bridge Pa and Havelock Hills vineyards between 5 and 14 March 2024. The separate parcels were each destemmed and lightly crushed, then cooled before a brief period of skin contact. Following pressing and cold-settling, they were all run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for fermentation and maturation, with 36% being new oak. The resulting wines were aged on lees, with regular stirring, for a further 11 months before bottling in February, 2025. Cape Crest ’24 is a blend of 86% sauvignon blanc, 9% semillon and 5% sauvignon gris. Cape Crest and its gannet symbol refer to Cape Kidnappers, the southern point of Hawke Bay, home to the world’s largest mainland colony of these remarkable marine birds.
