Man O' War Black Label Collection
Description
A seriously fun Flagship wine collection, showcasing a selection of some of their best wines. Produced on Waiheke Island, these wines express fantastic winemaking.
Collection includes:
2 x Man O' War Exiled Waiheke Pinot Gris 2021
The 2021 Exiled Pinot Gris has amazing aromas of seared citrus, fresh mandarin zest with hints of honey and brown spice. On the palate the wine is super fresh with the natural sugar very well balanced and excellent acidity/tannin, it has a sweet/salty margarita like vibe and Harry reckons it “looks good” high praise indeed… Perfect to drink on release but also it has excellent potential to be satisfying with a decade of age or more.
Pinot gris fruit for the Exiled comes from the St Helena clone of pinot gris and is grown on both Waiheke and Ponui Islands.
Alc: 12.35%
2 x Man O' War Valhalla Waiheke Island Chardonnay 2019
AWARDED 95/100 POINTS & 5 STARS: Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Dec 2020
"Rich, complex chardonnay with grapefruit, nectarine, green apple, mint and a saline-mineral character. A lively, high-energy wine that promises to age very well indeed" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Dec 2020
The 2019 Valhalla has a wealth of ripe aromas; nectarine and grapefruit with complex layers of baking bread, cashew and flinty reductive elements. Rich and fulsome on the palate, with a spine of acidity harmoniously interwoven with richness and a ripe citrus finish. The Valhalla 2019 is beautifully composed and magnificently styled, an iconic Chardonnay for the ages.
Alc: 14.36%
2 x Man O’ War Waiheke Island Ironclad 2020
Awarded 95/100 Points & 5 Stars: Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2023
"A blend of merlot, cabernet franc, petit verdot and cabernet sauvignon that combines density with complexity. Alcohol sweetness balances ripe tannins to give a pleasantly dry finish. Accessible now but should develop well with bottle age" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2023
The 2020 Ironclad is classically aromatic with cassis and dark berry fruits, lifted floral and spice with a nice earthy note. The palate is concentrated with clear ripeness framed by robust tannins with a beautiful fresh vibrancy. Ironclad 2020 comes from an exceptional vintage and is clearly a wine with enormous potential.
Alc: 15.32%
