About this Wine

The 2023 release of Te Mata Estate Vineyards Merlot Cabernets is a classic Hawke’s Bay blend - approachable, polished, and quietly complex. It’s crafted from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, drawing on the same varietal pedigree as Te Mata’s more iconic blends but with an easygoing, drink-anytime appeal.

It’s all about balance here. Ripe dark berries, plum, and hints of bay leaf lead the nose, while the palate is smooth and supple with layers of blackcurrant, cocoa, and savoury spice. Fine, powdery tannins and a gentle oak influence round it out, giving depth without losing freshness.

Full-bodied but never heavy, it’s a versatile red that’s ready to go now but will handle a little time in the cellar if you’re so inclined.

Wines of Hawke's Bay

The oldest wine producing region in New Zealand, Hawkes bay is located on the east coast of the North Island.

Hawkes bay is split into a few subregions, the most notable of these are Gimblett Gravels, Bridge Pa Triangle and Te Mata Special Character Zone. These subregions are known for producing some of the best reds in the country, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The top blends from these regions are on par with top level Bordeaux blends from around the world.

White wine is also produced in Hawke’s Bay, with Chardonnay in the lead in terms of volume with Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Viogner following behind.
