Aroma

Blaubeeren, Pflaumen, Kaffee, Schokolade, Lorbeer, Minze

Geschmack

Frisch und lebendig. Am Gaumen entfaltet der Wein reife Beeren Aromen, während reife Tannine einen herrlichen Abgang bereiten.

Herstellung/Geschichte

Awatea - oder auch der kleine Coleraine - wird nach der Ernte und den traditionellen Weinbereitungsmethoden wie man sie aus dem Bordeaux kennt, 15 Monate in Französischen Barriques gereift.

Te Mata Awatea hat seinen Namen von dem historischen Schiff SS Awatea (ein Maori Wort das "Auge der Dämmerung" bedeutet), das in den 1930er Jahren die Auckland - Sydney - Wellington Route fuhr. Die Awatea wurde als Truppentransport im Zweiten Weltkrieg beschlagnahmt und 1942 von Algerien versenkt.

Die Cuvee besteht aus 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39,% Merlot und 5% Cabernet Franc.

Awatea '15- "Ripeness and oak is played to perfection." 94 Points

James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, November 2017

'Structure, tannin,drive. It has it all. Great wine. 94/100

Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, AUS, 2015

Featuring: Awatea 2013

'This offers exceptional value for a premium wine. Compelling and gratifying, yet it’s not over done or blowsy. The fabulously appealing bouquet shows blackberry, dark plum, dried herb and roasted nut characters, followed by a succulent palate that exhibits fine, grainy texture and a super-long finish. The wine is brilliantly polished and framed, and destined to develop gracefully. At its best: 2017 to 2029.' 95 points ★★★★★

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit Te Mata Showcase Summary, 2015

Featuring: Awatea 2013
'Full, even black-red colour with youthful purple hues. This has a tightly concentrated, penetrating nose of ripe blackberry, blackcurrant and redcurrant fruit aromas unfolding cassis, dark herb, liquorice and minerally detail. The aromatics are presented with precision, focus and depth. Medium-full bodied, the palate is very firmly concentrated with a deep core of ripe black and red berry fruits. Complexing herb, leaf, tobacco and black plum flavours add to an array that blossoms with richness and vibrancy. The tannins are very refined and powdery, providing plenty of structure and support, building and growing in prominence, and carried by refreshing lacy acidity to a long and sustained finish.' ★★★★★

'90 Points - Awatea Cabernets/Merlot ‘13 - A textbook Cabernet Merlot blend with black berry fruit aromas. Offering notes of plum and blackberry. Tannins are soft and well-supported by the cedary oak characters on the finish. Complex and full of flavours.'
