Te Motu
Kokoro 2017 750ml

Named for the head of Te Motu’s founding family, Terry Dunleavy, Kokoro means ‘the patriarch’ in Maori and ‘the heart of things’ in Japanese.

A Merlot dominant blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Syrah, hand- harvested from low-yielding vines, Kokoro is made in a more forward style to accentuate fruit ripeness and texture, this wine can be enjoyed in its youth but has the pedigree to improve for years to come.

Tasting note:

Bright ruby red with aromas of fresh raspberry, red cherry, and rose petal intermingle with subtle vanilla and clove. Medium in body with lively acidity and fine-grained tannin. Fresh red plum bursting on the palate with cherry, toasty oak and hints of white pepper. Tight, elegant, and beautifully balanced, the Kokoro has great cellaring potential.
