Taste Test is our exclusive wine & customer profiling system. Wines are scored according to their power and intensity. The scale runs from 3 (luscious, sweet wines) up to 15 (full-bodied, intense dry reds).
Intense
For people who enjoy big, bold wines that really pack a punch. For many who enjoy similar wines it’s a case of the bigger the better!
Te Awa is a single estate situated in the Gimblet Gravels area of Hawkes Bay, New Zealand’s premium red wine producing area. Hotter than Bordeaux and with similar gravely soils to Graves, it is unsurprising that this region produces fine examples of Bordeaux blends with some exciting Chardonnay and Syrah to boot. If you didn’t think New Zealand could make red wines (that weren’t Pinot Noir) think again!
The full Maori name given to the site is Te Awa o Te Atua, which means 'River of God', a reference to the mysterious subterranean streams over which the vineyards are situated and from which the wines draw a lot of their character.
