Tasting Notes
Aroma
Cape Crest ’24 opens with
expressive grapefruit, lime blossom, and white currant, lifted by hints of guava and
warm citrus brioche.
Appearance
White diamond at its core with flickering lemon lights.
Palate
Fine and long, the palate surges with layers of nectarine, lemon
oil, and ripe tropical fruit threaded with notes of sea salt, flint, and subtle toasted
cedar. Cape Crest ’24 is layered, seamless, and beautifully focused with striking clarity
and drive, delivering signature ripeness and complexity alongside a refreshing, long
and mineral-edged finish.
Vinification
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 all run to
a mixture of new and seasoned French oak barrels for fermentation and maturation,
with 36% being new oak. The resulting wines were aged on lees, with regular stirring,
for a further 11 months before bottling in February 2025. Cape Crest ’24 is a blend
of 86% sauvignon blanc, 9% semillon and 5% sauvignon gris.
Cellaring Potential
Cape Crest ’24 will continue to evolve in the bottle for 10 years from harvest.
Region Notes
The fully ripe grapes for Cape Crest ’24 were hand harvested from Te Mata Estate’s
Bridge Pa and Havelock Hills vineyards between 5 and 14 March 2024.
