WINEMAKING    

The fruit was destemmed and crushed with controlled skin contact blended to enhance the wine’s varietal complexity. The juice was then barrel fermented in seasoned French Oak with a full malolactic fermentation aged on gross lees for nine months, blended and then bottled.

VINEYARDS            

On 22 March 2025, fully ripe viognier grapes were hand harvested across the sloping middle terrace of Te Mata Estate’s Woodthorpe Terraces Vineyard.

ORIGIN              

Zara is affectionately named after Zara Buck, the first born child of the third generation of Te Mata Estate’s Buck family. Zara spent her childhood playing amongst the vines at the vineyard which is home to this delightful viognier.
