A bright and pale straw colour, Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc ’21 immediately offers up notes of guava, lime juice, white nectarine and white peach, that all lead into a palate exploding with tropical fruit, salinity, and a fine, crystalline acidity. The perfect match for a plump fresh oyster in its half shell, the complexing notes of woodsmoke, grapefruit and juniper in Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc ’21 make it satisfy now yet more than capable of ageing. Moreish and complex, this is a wine of immense reward. Cape Crest ’21 will continue to evolve in the bottle for 10 years from harvest.
Cape Crest and its gannet symbol refer to Cape Kidnappers, the southern point of Hawke's Bay, home to the world’s largest mainland colony of these remarkable marine birds.
The fully ripe grapes for Cape Crest ’21 were hand harvested from individual plots within Te Mata Estate’s vineyards between 1 and 8 March 2021.
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 run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for fermentation. The resulting wines were aged on lees, with regular stirring, for a further 11 months before bottling in February 2022. Cape Crest ’21 is a blend of 87% sauvignon blanc, 9% sauvignon gris and 4% semillon.
