2023 Awatea Cabernet/Merlot, Te Mata, Hawkes Bay

2023 Awatea Cabernet/Merlot, Te Mata, Hawkes Bay

New release

Awatea is a baby Coleraine, with more than a passing nod to Bordeaux in its restraint and medium-bodied, savoury style. The 2023 Awatea Cabernets Merlot comprises 52% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. Bramble and cassis, with iodine, graphite, sweet tobacco and tarragon on the nose. Similar on the palate the wine is savory, structural, spicy and chewy, with fine, agile tannins and some chocolate richness. Magnificent and tremendous value.
