Man O' War Waiheke Island Estate Chardonnay 2023

Pure NZ Excellence | Waiheke Island | Beautiful NZ Wine

Tasting Notes

Man O' War Chardonnay exhibits intense ripe stone fruit characters with subtle hints of passionfruit seed and a nutty lees influence.

Elegant Waiheke Island Chardonnay—stone fruit richness balanced by textural lees complexity from one of New Zealand's most historic vineyard sites.

The Vineyard

Man O' War is steeped in history dating back to early Polynesian adventurers. The protected cove has provided safe harbour during many rough seas, and the bay was named by navigators in the late 1700s. The magnificent Kauri trees were noted in early shipping journals—they made ideal masts for naval Man O' War warships, and thus the name was bestowed upon this special place.
