Te Awa Hawkes Bay Left Field Merlot

Winery Story

Te Awa Farm is a unique place. The full name in Maori - Te Awa o Te Atua - means River of God, a reference to the mysterious subterranean st... (more...)reams over which Te Awa Farm sits, and from which its single estate grown wines draw their sublime character. In 1992 the Lawson family -- longtime grape growers -- established the Hawke's Bay property.

Tasting Note

Wonderfully aromatic notes of old leather, black doris plums and sweet fertile earth. Background notes of sweet vanilla, chocolate and sligh... (more...)tly burnt toast add to the effect. Seldom does a wine live up to its promise on the nose; here is one that does. The impression of plumpness, without being fat, generosity, without being OTT and suaveness without being a greaser all help personify this wine. Easy to like, and easy to drink.
