Te Mata Estate Merlot Cabernets 750ml

Wonderfully aromatic and complex nose of red and black plums and wild berries layered with dried herbs, spice and cedar. The palate is soft and enticing, mid-weight and balanced with beautifully ripe raspberries and plum to the fore with powdery tannins and a savoury complexity finishing long and satisfying.

Established in 1896, Te Mata Estate remains family owned, producing internationally recognized wines exclusively from its Hawke's Bay vineyards. The Estate's ownership varied frequently until John and Wendy Buck acquired it in 1978. John and Wendy instigated a twenty-year development program, which commenced with the restoration of the original winery building and the replanting of all of the original vineyards, as well as the acquisition of new vineyard sites.
