Tasting Notes
Aroma
Bullnose ’24 is wonderfully
expressive and fragrant. Aromas unfold in layers of violet, fresh raspberry, ripe plum
and dark cherry, wrapped in black olive with subtle spice and pepper.
Appearance
Bright crimson at the edge with a deep purple-black core.
Palate
The palate
amplifies the depth of fruit and textural intensity, delivering concentrated richness,
framed by a vibrant, precise acid line that imparts energy and a bracingly youthful
edge. With underlying power and elegance, fine persistent tannins carry the wine
through to a long, beautifully driven finish. Bullnose ’24 is a showstopper. This is
Bullnose for the ages. Enticing, long and beautifully composed.
Vinification
The individual lots were each destemmed and given a traditional warm-plunged
fermentation. The resulting wines underwent extended maceration on skins before
pressing and then a secondary malolactic fermentation. The separate wines were
then run to a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barriques for 16 months’
maturation, with 34% being new oak. During this time, they were regularly topped
and racked, before blending and then bottling in November 2025.
Cellaring Potential
Bullnose ’24 is closed with a Diam cork and will evolve in bottle for at least
10 years from harvest.
Region Notes
Separate parcels of fully ripened syrah grapes were hand harvested from Te Mata Estate’s
Bridge Pa, Gimblett Gravels and Dartmoor vineyards on 25 March and 9 April 2024.
