Details
First made in 1982, the Te Mata Estate Awatea Cabernet Merlot 2022 is a classic Hawke's Bay blend that represents the best of family-owned wineries. Te Mata Estate has been producing wine since 1896, and their commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in every bottle.
The Awatea Cabernet Merlot 2022 boasts floral aromas that lead to intense blackberry, currant, and dark plum flavors. The rich, supple palate is followed by a sustained finish that will continue to evolve in the bottle for ten years from harvest.
Te Mata Estate's traditional winemaking process involves hand-picking the grapes and using natural yeasts for fermentation. The winery also practices sustainable viticulture, using cover crops and compost to enrich the soil and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers.
This wine pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, such as lamb or beef, and aged cheeses.
