Te Mata Awatea 2022

Hawke's Bay, New Zealand

The little bro of the iconic Coleraine
But compared with it's big brother, Awatea is a positive bargin at half the price and is an experience to remember.
The 2022 vintage gave the Awatea intense powerful characters with a persistance tannin structure to give it life after the recommended cellaring time of 8-10 years. This intense claret experience welcomes you in with concentrated plums, blackcurrants, and blackberries. After which the warm reception extends into fine tannins with characters of chocolate, baked cedar, a savoury liquorice.
Case of 6 ($44.90/bottle)

Awatea is crafted using the same palette as Te Mata’s iconic flagship –Coleraine. Just like it’s big bro, Awatea is designed as a ‘Bordeaux blend’, using a mix of Cabernet Sauv, Merlot, Cab Franc, & Petit Verdot. Effectively the talented team at Te Mata they have created a Coleraine experience that’s a lot kinder on your wallet. As with Te Mata’s other premium wines the picture on label gives a clue to origin of the wines name. Indeed Awatea was named after the 1930’s ship ‘SS Awatea’ meaning Eye of the Dawn. The team behind the SS Awatea were awarded several medals for there service on such a vessel of high standard of luxury that just kept on going during wartime. Just like the her it's namesake Awatea the wine will award you with luxury and longevity. So don't worry you have plenty of time to enjoy this baby Coleraine, cellaring for approximately 10 years but when you do pop the cork (yes you need a corkscrew) you will experience a classic Hawke’s Bay red with bundles of flavour.

Black Cottage Rose 2022

Marlborough, New Zealand

Light but full of Gusto
Inspired by Mediterranean island wines of Corsica where Dave Clouston (winemaker) did a wee winemaking sabbatical. Crisp dry and full of flavour.
A great aperitif by itself, but is it great match with chicken salads, antipasto and seafood

Carrick Bannockburn Chardonnay 2022

Central Otago, New Zealand

No it’s not a MOA, it is a Central Otago Chardy!
A rare grape variety in this neck of the woods, but Carrick create a stunning chardonnay with Chablis like flavour.
Carrick’s (winemaker Rosie has done an outstanding job balancing the characters of this wine. The interwoven flavours of mouth-watering citrus with crisp acidity and rich minerality with unctuous sweet almond cream are well linked in perfect harmony just like the ‘Carrick Bend Knot’ that represents the company.
