A deep 'guardsmen red', Awatea Cabernets/Merlot captivates with its nose of blackberry and bay leaf, ripe red currants, and sea spray to instantly engage the senses.  On the palate this interplay of red and dark fruit continues with roses, chocolate and black olive with vanilla, cedar and a faint menthol character, layered over a core of perfectly ripe Black Doris plum. Moreish acidity brightens the wine, lifting the classical varietal elements of Awatea Cabernets/Merlot and its fine, powdery, tannin profile.  This is a wine of balance, length and appeal, with the clear ability to evolve even further in bottle.

Terrible vintage, excellent wine.

The 2023 Awatea is from a weird vintage, where half the wineries lost swaths of vineyard to flooding, while others escaped scot-free and made particularly good reds. This is classic Awatea – everything you hope the more expensive Coleraine will be, but around $80 a bottle cheaper. Te Mata's most consistently brilliant wine.

Have not tried this yet, normally I just leave them for another 5/8 years before trying

A special red

I enjoyed this wine by savouring every glass. From its fruity aroma to its delicate mellow fruity taste, you are in heaven! Buy and make each glass last. Like a great book, you don't want it to end.
