Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

No bull – Bullnose is one of the Bay’s best!
Te Mata benchmarks Bullnose as a stunning Syrah showcasing Te Mata tremendous talents and Hawke’s Bay’s ability to grow great wine.
Named after the vineyard owners whose surnames together form the make of 1930’s car nicknamed ‘The Bullnose’. This renowned rare red is a combo of elegance & power, as this is one bull that so sophisticated - it loves going shopping for fine china!

As with all of Te Mata’s showcase selection the Bullnose Syrah is one of Hawke’s Bay best. Showing off Te Mata’s high standard of quality, this Syrah drop is produced off a single vineyard owned by Te Mata’s winemaker Peter Cowley and Michael Morris. It is this partnership that named the vineyard after the distinctive 1930’s car – the Morris Cowley Bullnose. Bullnose the wine is a regular 90+ point wine and has in recent years been as rare as the Bullnose the car.
After the Te Mata talents spend 16months crafting this classic the bottled product is mix of elegance and power. Soft dark fruit flavours begin the introduction with rich plum preserve, blackberry, dark cherries, and smoky cinnamon. The concentration intensifies when Bullnose charges forward, grabbing your attention with spiced vanilla and firm tannins. If ever you could call a bull sophisticated, that could negotiate itself through a china shop –this is it! To be in the know, nose the Bullnose next to a big beef banquet – brilliant!
