Te Mata Estate Awatea 2024

Te Mata Estate Awatea 2024

$48.99

FIVE STARS 96/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Mouthfilling, succulent and supple"
95/100 | Gary Walsh, The Wine Front - "One of the best releases to date"

After tasting this wine, our team says: This is the finest rendition of Awatea our team has tasted to date. Like Coleraine 2024, the palate is simply alive with energy, Awatea is well known as a 'drink young' style - but winemaker Phil Brodie has outdone himself here. Softly rounded mouthfeel has created a luxe element we have not seen before in Awatea. We thought it was wonderful.

Te Mata Estate have once again captured the imagination of the world’s wine press with their important collection of showcase wines. Awatea continues to represent the best of the classic Hawke's Bay cabernet/merlot blends with its floral aromas and intense blackberry, currant and dark plum flavours that lead to a rich, supple palate with a sustained finish. Gary Walsh claims it is one of the best Awatea releases to date, but having tasted this exceptional 2024 rendition, we're inclined to go one step further. Please read the reviews below for more information on this storied release.

Tasting Notes

The final blend is merlot (62%), cabernet sauvignon (27%) and cabernet franc (11%).
Gary Walsh, The Wine Front writes "Here's a pretty serious and structured Awatea, and it's one of the best releases to date."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "This is comparable to a high-ranked Cru Classé Bordeaux, at a fraction of the price. The bouquetis classic and inviting with blackcurrant, dark cherry, tobacco, fennel, and fine oak with a floral overtone. It’s mouth-filling, succulent, and supple with a silky flow and persistence. Splendidly composed and styled, and finishes impressively long and robust."
The winery writes"Bright crimson witha royal purple edge, Awatea '24 glows in the glass with youthful poise and vitality. The aroma is refined and perfumed, offering blackberry, dark plum, cassis, redcurrant, and dark cherry with layers of thyme, cedar, tapenade and a gentle floral lift. The palate is generous and seamless, with black plum and blackberry carried by silky, ripe tannins and a savoury umami thread of black truffle, spice and plum sauce. The finish is long, polished and mouth-watering, revealing clarity, balance, and a classical Awatea with depth and graceful evolution ahead."
