Cellar for up to 12 years. No need to decant before serving.

Set in a remote corner of Waiheke Island with a tasting room right by the beach, Man O’ War is one of New Zealand’s most picturesque wineries. The first vines were planted in 1993 and today the estate has some 150 acres spread across 76 unique sites, giving them access to a wide range of terroirs.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from four prime Syrah vineyards planted on steep hillsides which are hand harvested late in the season when the fruit reaches optimum ripeness. Once in the winery the fruit is allowed to ferment naturally with wild yeasts and left to macerate on the skins for 35 days. After 18 months of ageing in oak barrels the young wine is aged for another 3 months in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling.

The lengthy maturation and minimal intervention approach to winemaking craft a characterful and enigmatic Syrah that’s bursting with luscious dark fruit aromas and hints of dried herbs, leather and spice. The firm tannins, full body and long finish make this a great cuvee to keep in the cellar or enjoy now alongside hearty red meat dishes.
