Commercial description
ORIGIN Awatea takes its name from the historic ship SS Awatea (a Maori word meaning ?Eye of the Dawn?) that sailed the Auckland ? Sydney ? Wellington route in the late 1930s. The Awatea was requisitioned as a troop transport in WWII and was sunk off Algeria in 1942. A wine that exhibits the best qualities of great Hawke?s Bay cabernets/merlot - intense aromatic berry fruit characters, a rich mid-palate and a supple tannin structure. Awatea is a full flavoured wine that can be enjoyed over 8-10 years. Ink-dark crimson, Awatea Cabernets/Merlot glimmers with bright raspberry, cherry and blackberry sparkling over mocha, cedar and spice. Always a favourite expression of fine Hawke?s Bay cabernet, Awatea is refreshing and moreish as well as typically elegant.
Aromas of red and dark berry fruit, flashes of boysenberry and espresso on the palate, and a classical, super-fine, tannin structure running through to its long finish make Awatea Cabernets/Merlot a true star.
Wine Storage Suggestions
Awatea is closed with a natural cork, allowing continued evolution in bottle for ten years from harvest.
Alc 13.5%
