Quarter Acre Merlot Cabernet Malbec 2019

'Dark, brooding and as smooth as the day is long!'

92/100 | Bob Campbell MW

Quarter Acre is Te Awanga's reserve level range and the wines are a personal showcase for Rod McDonald - one of Hawkes Bay's most widely recognised winemakers. Quarter Acre are plush, richly flavoured wines that offer the sort of generosity and drinkability other winemakers aspire to - but seldom achieve. They come highly recommended.

VInted from carefully selected parcels of merlot (69%), cabernet sauvignon (16%), malbec (12%) and cabernet franc (3%), Section 2019 is a red blend that well and truly has Rod's hallmark quality cues written all over it. Ripe, dark fruit flavours flood the palate but the real magic is in the plush mouthfeel and long, lingering finish. Outstanding wine and excellent buying for fans of Hawke's Bay red.
