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
A supple and elegant wine with attractive sweet fruits and a seductively smooth texture. A developed wine with liquorice, prune, dried apricot and toffee along with tertiary flavours of game, savouriness and forest floor. A lovely mature wine showing complex flavours and a long lingering finish.

VINTAGE NOTES

Huge fruiting cane vigour carried through from previous season combined with favourable conditions at flowering and fruit-set for an abundant crop. A significant rainfall just prior to veraison renewed vigour. Extremely favourable conditions from veraison to harvest produced remarkably clean fruit with flavours and sugars achieving optimum ripeness in harmony.
