About the wine
Tasting notes
The latest vintage of Te Mata's top red is a wine for the cellar. It offers cassis, black licorice, bay leaf, ground black pepper and graphite notes on the nose. The palate brings chalky tight-grained tannins that knot firmly around the tongue. But all is in place for this wine to develop into an elegant and classy drop. Just give it time. Drink 2021–3034 and likely beyond.

Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux Blends are made up of a combination of traditional grapes found in the region of Bordeaux. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are the dominant varieties used in these blends, but you'll also find Petit Verdot, Malbec, Carménère and other supporting grapes. The firm, structured and tannic Left Bank Bordeaux reds are typically Cabernet Sauvignon dominant, whereas the more juicy, lush and approachable Right Bank Bordeaux reds have Merlot as their primary grape. These wines are some of the world's greatest expressions and have been made to last decades!
