Description
In a nutshell:
Bright, ripe and fresh Bordeaux-style blend from New Zealand's oldest winery.
The lowdown:
Hawke's Bay wine region in North Island produces some outstanding wines, of which Te Mata Estate have been doing for over 100 years, and of particular note are the area's Bordeaux-style wines with Merlot and the Cabernets excelling in the region's climate and soils. This is a refined and elegant representation of Te Mata and Hawke's Bay with the fruit being entirely estate sourced. Individual plots were harvested, fermented and matured separately before blending with the 2019 containing 44% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc. Aromas of blackberry and ripe raspberry with an underlying freshness lead onto a vibrant and juicy palate with flavours of plum and cherry with notes of mint and cacao. Grippy, savoury tannins and fresh acidity and structure and balance to this rather elegant, youthful wine.
When to drink:
Versatile wine than can be paired with a variety of meats (Te Mata suggest serving with anything that once lived in a field), and also works well with hard cheeses.
