Red

A sweetly ripe, elegant, aromatic Cabernet Sauvignon blend with blackcurrant, cassis & herb flavours on a fresh, fine-textured palate. Age from 3 to 12 years, earlier for a more fruit driven style.

Hawke’s Bay has become renowned as one of the top regions for Syrah, with flavours and a style unique to its terroir. This wine is no exception, with 100% Te Awanga grown fruit. The wine is highly aromatic with notes of purple berry and anise, supported by fine tannins concentrated berry and black pepper flavours. Drink now or cellar until 2025.

Deep magenta with a crimson edge, this is signature Awatea - a modern Hawke’s Bay cabernet with deep, pure fruit and bright, floral aromatics. Roses, violets, wild blackberry and dark plum, intertwined with notes of aniseed and thyme. Then, on the palate, immediate bright red and black fruits, blackcurrants, spice, raspberry syrup and a layered, almost saline, tannin structure with a refreshingly, fine, dry finish. Awatea ’16, as ever, is stylish Te Mata cabernet that totally over-delivers.
