2023 Te Mata Estate Bullnose Syrah from Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand is one of the winery’s most celebrated wines, showcasing the elegance and complexity of cool-climate Syrah. Named after the historic Morris “Bullnose” car once owned by the Te Mata family, the wine reflects both heritage and craftsmanship.
Aromas of blackberry, dark plum and blueberry are layered with classic Syrah notes of black pepper, violet and subtle spice. On the palate, it is beautifully structured with concentrated dark fruit, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that provide balance and depth. Gentle oak integration adds complexity, leading to a long, refined finish.
The 2023 Te Mata Estate Bullnose Syrah pairs superbly with roast lamb, grilled meats and rich Mediterranean dishes.
