Quarter Acre Merlot Cabernet Malbec 2018
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
SUPERBUY ON PREMIUM HAWKE'S BAY RED
91 POINTS | Robert Parker
92 POINTS | James Suckling
Quarter Acre is Te Awanga's reserve level range and the wines are a personal showcase for Rod McDonald - one of Hawkes Bay's most widely recognised winemakers. Quarter Acre are plush, richly flavoured wines that offer the sort of generosity and drinkability other winemakers aspire to - but seldom achieve. They come highly recommended.
VInted from carefully selected parcels of Merlot (43%), Cabernet Sauvignon (39%), Malbec (14%) and Cabernet Franc (4%), Section 2018 is a red blend that well and truly has Rod's hallmark quality cues written all over it. Ripe, dark fruit flavours flood the palate but the real magic is in the plush mouthfeel and long, lingering finish. Outstanding wine and excellent buying for fans of Hawke's Bay red.
The Quarter Acre range has always featured in any discussion about premium, well-priced wines and, now that we've given it the Advintage treatment, it's crazy good value.

Tasting Notes
The winery writes "Deep in colour, this blend is a dense mouthful with red and dark fruits, florals and dried herbs. The palate is full and plush with all important drinkability and balance. The tannins are fine and ripe and the finish is long. This wine shows a bright, youthful elegance but will benefit from careful cellaring."
