2026 Annual Te Mata Showcase Tasting

Lunn Ave

Fine Wine Delivery is pleased to invite you to New Zealand’s most important annual tasting, the Te Mata Showcase. This 2026 showcase is spearheaded by the 2024 Coleraine, fantastically fragrant and massively concentrated, yet very approachable still with all the structure that Coleraine is known for. Our panel enjoyed a private tasting and were yet again impressed with the level of quality across the board. The Coleraine has picked up a 98/100 and 97+/100 respectively from James Suckling and Gary Walsh, and you can expect to see more excellent critics scores emerging in the next couple of weeks. This showcase evening is the time for you to taste for yourself before committing to acquiring these great wines… and to secure your Coleraine in particular, as with insatiable export and domestic demand, it sells out very quickly these days. Join Jeff and Vince Labat, from Te Mata, for one night only to taste these stunning wines! The tasting lineup will include... Te Mata Estate Cape Crest Sauvignon Blanc 2024 Te Mata Estate Elston Chardonnay 2024 Te Mata Estate Alma Pinot Noir 2024 Te Mata Estate Bullnose Syrah 2024 Te Mata Estate Awatea 2024 Te Mata Estate Coleraine 2024 Strictly 50 seats per night. $50.00 pp 1 night only... we look forward to seeing you there!

Join us for a truly special afternoon hosted by Sir John Kirwan, whose lifelong love affair with Italy - and the people behind its great wines - spans more than 30 years. Through his label JK.14 Wines, Sir John has brought together a collection of wines and liqueurs from producers he personally knows and trusts, each chosen not just for quality, but for the stories, friendships and traditions behind them. This exclusive six-course Italian long lunch celebrates that journey, with each dish perfectly paired with wines and liqueurs from the JK.14 range, showcasing some of Italy’s most iconic and prestigious regions - Salento, Abruzzo, Manduria, Valpolicella, Sicily & more. Along the way, Sir John will share tales from his travels, the characters he’s met, and the moments that shaped his passion for Italian food, wine and hospitality. Acclaimed chef Sergio Maglione from award-winning restaurant Farina - named Metropolitan Restaurant of the Year at the Cuisine Good Food Awards 2025 and holder of a prestigious Cuisine Hat - will be bringing authentic Italian flavours straight to your table! Settle in for an afternoon of story-telling as Sir John takes us on a journey through Italy, its flavours, its characters, and the places he holds closest to his heart.
