Te Mata Estate Cabernet Merlot is a red wine from New Zealand. It is a blend of two Bordeaux grape varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This wine is full-bodied with a rich, complex flavour profile. On the palate, it offers notes of dark fruit such as blackberry and cassis, complemented by hints of vanilla, spices, and subtle oak.
Te Mata Estate Cabernet Merlot pairs well with a variety of hearty dishes such as grilled steak, roasted meats, and strong cheeses. The wine’s bold flavours and rich structure make it an excellent match for dishes with bold spices, such as barbecued ribs or chilli. It is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled, and should be decanted prior to serving to allow the flavours to fully develop.
