Sourced exclusively from Te Mata estate’s own vineyards, the Estate Vineyards wines represent the best qualities of their variety, vintage and Hawke’s Bay origin.
Hawke’s Bay’s warm climate and free draining soils produce Sauvignon Blanc with ripe fruit characters, balanced by fresh acidity, without the need for residual sugar. With grapes of such quality, minimal winemaking means the finer aromatics and flavours are preserved. Refreshingly fine and floral, with an elegance and tropical lift that is pure Hawke’s Bay, Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc ’17 is a wine of immense appeal.

A lovely approachable and fragrant Syrah, which spent 8 months in a combination of old and new French oak that imparted to the wine elegance and complexity.
Tenuta Cantagallo has been owned by the Pierazzuoli family since 1970 and covers 200 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and woods on the rolling Tuscan hills between Florence and Vinci.
The pride of the estate is the production of Chianti Montalbano DOCG and Riserva.
The Chianti Montalbano is entirely produced with Sangiovese grapes, vinified and matured in steel at a controlled temperature.
The selection of the grapes is the first secret of the Chianti Cantagallo, so much that as mentioned in the label and written in the cork is made “a bottle for each strain” (“Una bottiglia di vino per ogni ceppo di vite”).

Il Chianti Montalbano Reserva is made from the best Sangiovese grapes of their wineyards and ages for a minimum of 12 months in medium-aged Allier oak casks. This Tuscan red wine is fine and elegant, on the nose it expresses all the characteristics of Sangiovese with spicy and forest fruits.

Pure Sangiovese from a selection of the best grapes of our vineyards, uniting traditional and modern technology. Brunello has always been a great wine, certainly important and a pleasure to drink: when it is young, it is rich in scents of fruit and flowers; when it has aged, it acquires complex ethereal characteristics and offers a broad bouquet with an aroma of autumn leaves.
Sangiovese at its purest. It is produced exclusively in the best years. After ageing for 40 months in 30 hl Slavonian oak barrels it obtains its delicacy and roundness and develops its austere and imposing aroma. It completes its evolution in the bottle for at least six months. It offers a fine and expansive fragrance of red fruit and is strong and dense on the palate with long, balanced and elegant taste embellished by a great tannin structure.
A wine with a strong character linked to the Montalcino territory: it originates from the union of two local varieties, Sangiovese and Colorino, which blend together giving at first the structure and then the intense color. After ageing in stainless steel vats, it shows a ruby red color, hints of red fruit on the nose and fresh and balanced flavor. Even though it is so drinkable and very approachable on the palate, it maintains the typical strong characteristics of Montalcino wines.
Sangiovese in its natural state, considered to be the younger brother of Brunello. It unites the imposing structure of Brunello with the freshness and vivacity of a young wine. It should be drunk young, although it does last with ageing. It shows a well-orchestrated structure with good length and without aggressive tannins, very balanced, intense and elegant.
From his native Lombardy, Paolo Baratta established vineyards in the unexplored deep south of Maremma in 1999. Consultant oenologist Carlo Ferrini makes solely IGT Tuscan red wines from this Estate and since the very first vintage in 2004, success has been theirs. Monteti make wines of great concentration and depth.
Caburnio is their other, not second, wine, named after a passage of the Natural History by Pliny the Elder, written between 23 and 79 AD, in which, in the illustration of wine-growing in Roman times in the province of Gallia Narbonensis, “vitis Caburnicam”: “In the last seven years, a vine which buds in a single day and is therefore very strong, has been introduced in Alba Helvia; it is called Caburnicam and is planted today all over the province.”
With Caburnio 2010 it was reached an excellent synthesis of the characteristics that the wine has shown in the last three years and which represent the aim that Tenuta Monteti pursue with this label: freshness (2009), balance (2008), typical Maremman character (2007).

With Monteti 2008 the winery reached new heights in the production of their flagship wine. Considerably well-balanced, the wine matured earlier than its predecessors showing from the moment it was blended a delightful harmony between its various components. An excellent year.
The fruit for the Hedonist Cabernet Sauvignon is grown biodynamically on the estate vineyard situated in the Willunga foothills, McLaren Vale. Warm Summer days are cooled by evening sea breezes from St Vincentís Gulf, which lies a close proximity to the West. The soil is rich loam over clay with patches of underlying limestone, giving the wine a rich and fullness of pallet.
The fruit for the Hedonist Shiraz is estate grown on organic/biodynamic certified vineyard situated in the Willunga foothills, McLaren Vale. The soil is rich loam over clay with patches of underlying limestone, giving the wine a rich and fullness of pallet. The vintage conditions were ideal for concentrated flavour development and acid retention.
The Shiraz is an estate highlight from this vintage, displaying a plethora of lively red fruits and spice.
“I made it black and silky in new American oak and it’s got that long velvety finish true Shiraz lovers lust after.”– Walter Clappis, Winemaker

With his pioneering spirit, Michel Chapoutier set off to discover the terroirs of the oldest continent, with an idea: growing Rhone grapes in Australia. This was the beginnings of a tremendous voyage of discovery, observation and eventually, affection for that land. On what he found to be very special terroir, he planted non-grafted vines from 19th century clonal selections, imported from Europe before phylloxera took its toll. The non-negligible advantage was that in Australia, the harvest coincides with the French spring: ideal timing.
Organically certification in progress on vintage 2018.
