Te Mata Estate Vineyards Merlot/Cabernets Red Wine 75 cl

Te Mata Estate was established in 1896 and remains family-owned, creating small batches of internationally recognised wines from their Hawkes Bay vineyards and in New Zealand’s oldest wine cellars Te Mata Estate comprises of 250 hectares exclusively in top Hawke’s Bay sites. All wines are hand harvested and estate produced, matured and bottled. Te Mata was named ‘New Zealand’s finest winery’ by Robert Parker and ‘New Zealand’s finest winegrower’ by Wine Orbit. In 2012, Te Mata Estate launched Estate Vineyards - a collection of five varietally-designated wines; Merlot/Cabernets, Syrah, Gamay Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Estate Vineyard wines are produced exclusively from Te Mata Estate’s own vineyards and represent the best qualities of their variety, vintage, and Hawke's Bay origin. Deep crimson with a floral lift and charm, Te Mata Estate Merlot/Cabernets has a beguiling, aromatic intricacy with a core of sustained, poised, ripe fruit on the palate. Chocolatey merlot, and sumptuous raspberry and blackberry notes from cabernet franc give a supple weight to the wine. The tapenade and dried herb of cabernet deepen the savoury appeal and varietal expression. Artfully crafted, graceful and svelte, this is a deceptively elegant wine.
