Te Motu 1994
Te Motu 1994
The flagship wine of the estate: Te Motu is a Cabernet Sauvignon dominant blend with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, hand-harvested from low-yielding vines.
Tasting Notes
Only a few bottles remain from the second vintage ever produced by Te Motu. A very interesting and complex wine with aromas and flavours of earth, game, mushroom and forest floor. Dried herbs, cassis and oak with a touch of vanilla on the palate.

VINTAGE NOTES
VINTAGE NOTES
Previous season’s stress minimised Spring vigour of fruiting canes which combined with cold wet conditions at flowering to significantly reduce fruit-set and early berry development. Favourable conditions from veraison evenly ripened the low crop of open bunch small berries to intense flavours at maximum sugar levels.
