Te Mata Estate Gamay Noir 2025 from Hawke’s Bay is a super‑bright, chillable red, pouring deep ruby with a vivid purple rim and bursting with playful energy and vibrant, juicy fruit. This Te Mata Estate Gamay Noir ’25 is made in that Beaujolais‑cru meets Kiwi bistro style – all about fragrance, crunch and sheer drinkability.

Aromas leap out of the glass: candied cherries, ripe raspberry, cherry syrup, Turkish delight and bubble‑gum notes, all wrapped in bright red‑berry perfume. The palate is alive with ripe raspberries and cherry‑juice flavours, carried on powder‑light tannins and sweet‑edged red‑fruit acidity that keeps things refreshing, moreish and almost dangerously smashable when lightly chilled.

For food, it’s spot‑on with charcuterie, pizza, burgers, roasted chicken, or a loaded grazing board, and it’s brilliant slightly chilled on a warm afternoon. Te Mata Estate Gamay Noir 2025 is also a clever match for lighter Asian dishes and duck bao, making it a super‑versatile red for crowds and easy entertaining.
