Te Mata Estate Pinot Noir 2024 from Hawke’s Bay is a vibrant, mid‑weight Pinot drawn from the Woodthorpe Terraces vineyard in the upper Dartmoor Valley, giving a fine, cool‑edge profile with real drinkability. This Te Mata Estate Pinot Noir 2024 is all about purity and balance rather than sheer power.

In the glass you can expect bright redcurrant, strawberry and cherry fruit, with hints of fresh prune, soft spice and a touch of florals, framed by very fine, almost chalky tannins. The palate is silky and supple, with juicy red fruit, gentle earthiness and enough acidity to keep everything fresh and moreish through the finish.

This Te Mata Estate Pinot Noir 2024 is spot‑on with roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom pasta, pork belly or charcuterie plates. It will also work beautifully with soft cheeses and lighter duck dishes, making it a versatile choice for relaxed weeknight dinners and long, leisurely lunches.
