Refined, Complex, and Classically Hawke’s Bay - A World Class Bordeaux Blend from Te Mata Estate
Te Mata Awatea Cabernets Merlot 2023 is a sophisticated and finely structured red blend that epitomises the elegance of Hawke’s Bay. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, it offers power and poise in perfect harmony, a seamless reflection of the Te Mata house style. Often described as the “little brother” to Coleraine, Awatea stands proudly on its own as one of New Zealand’s most consistently outstanding reds.
Tasting Notes
-
Aroma: Blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry layered with cedar, tobacco, and graphite.
-
Palate: Medium to full-bodied, showing ripe black fruit, cocoa, and savoury spice framed by fine-grained tannins.
-
Finish: Long, elegant, and beautifully balanced with lingering notes of dark chocolate and cigar box.
Food Pairing / Serving Suggestions
Perfect with roast lamb, beef Wellington, or venison. Also exceptional with aged cheddar or mushroom-based dishes. Decant before serving to enhance aromatic complexity.
About the Winery
Te Mata Estate, established in 1896, is New Zealand’s oldest family-owned winery and a true icon of Hawke’s Bay. Known for crafting wines of classical structure and longevity, Te Mata remains at the forefront of premium winemaking under the stewardship of the Buck family. The Awatea blend showcases the estate’s Gimblett Gravels vineyards renowned for producing red wines of depth, elegance, and age-worthiness.
Cellaring Potential
Drink now for its youthful vibrancy or cellar confidently until 2040 for secondary notes of truffle, cigar box, and forest floor.
Collector’s Note
The Te Mata Awatea 2023 has earned 96 points from Bob Campbell MW, 95 points from The Real Review, and Gold at the Hawke’s Bay Wine Awards. Revered for its sophistication and structure, Awatea continues to be one of New Zealand’s most collectible Bordeaux-style reds.
