Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes…

Made from only the finest individually hand-harvested grapes, Te Mata Awatea Cabernet / Merlot is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, which results in an opulent, dark crimson colour with lifted floral, ripe blackberry, cedar and spice aromas. The palate is laden with delicious rich dark cherry, chocolate and Provence herb flavours, harmonised with a silky, persistent tannin finish. This fabulous wine will continue to evolve in bottle until at least 2019

Our Alternative Wines

Verum Seleccion de Familia Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes…

Classic elements of Cabernet Franc on the nose including wild strawberry, blackberry, pencil shavings and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. This is riper than a typical old world Cabernet Franc and does not show too much greenness, instead offering more body and depth of fruit and a slight touch of herbal mint. The fuller bodied palate is elegant with firm tannins but a vital balancing acidity. Cedar notes show from the use of French oak and the finish is dominated by bright red fruit and mocha spice.

Price range: £134.00 through £265.50

Karim Mussi Abras Malbec

Tasting Notes…

Fresh plums, violets, blueberry, crushed-stone and mineral aromas on the nose lead to a fresh and brightly fruited, full-bodied palate with firm, silky tannins.

Price range: £131.50 through £260.50

Algodon Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes…

Vanilla, mocha and dark fruits fill the enticing nose.  The palate is rich and offers a fuller style of Pinot but retains elegance.  The palate is smooth with dark cherries, sandalwood and creamy vanilla flavours.

We say…

This is superbly textured Pinot Noir.
