Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
Established in 1992 by the Lawson Family, and now owned by the Villa Maria group, Te Awa is located in the renowned Gimblett Gravels wine region within Hawkes Bay.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 their exquisite, yet subtle characteristics. After stopping off for lunch at the reknowned Te Awa restaurant if you walk along the 50 hectare vineyard you will see the vines planted in alluvial soils, typical of the area. From its inception Te Awa, focused on Bordeaux styled wines that were representative of the regions climate and terroir. You can find these wines classified into three distinctive labels - The representative Single Estate wines, the whimsical LeftField experiences and the simply stunning Kidnapper Cliffs range.Today, The Te Awa collection is created by Winemakers, Ant Mackenzie and Richard Painter who look to Viticulturist John van der Linden to provide the outstanding fruit from this ancient riverbed of Te Awa
