TeMata Estate Awatea Cabernet Merlot 2018
$50
Description
The Awatea is a fantastic introduction to the Te Mata Estate wines. You get the supreme craftsmanship of a family owned winery with over a century of experience making wines in this region, some of the best fruit in NZ and so much history.
Little sister to the Coleraine, this also a Bordeaux blend – the 2018 is made up of 48% cabernet sauvignon, 37% merlot, 15% cabernet franc. The wine gives ripe blackberry and blackcurrant aromatics with elements of vanilla creme and sandalwood. On the palate there’s layers of plum, raspberry, dried herbs and lingering dark cherry, set out across cedar and cocoa powder tannins. Classical in structure, with fine balance and length. It’s a wine that improves with time in bottle, but is supple enough to be opened from day one.
