Man O' War Pinque Rosé 2026 is a dry, coastal rosé from Waiheke and Ponui Islands.

Waiheke & Ponui Islands | Dry Rosé | Coastal Expression

Pinque is made as a rosé in its own right, not as a by-product of red winemaking. Grown on cooler, coastal blocks and gently pressed with minimal skin contact to keep the colour pale, it is dry in style and made for the table rather than the cellar.

A dry, coastal New Zealand rosé, made for the table not the cellar.

Why you'll love it: A dry rosé that does not wait for summer, equally at home with a long lunch or a quiet glass on the deck.

The Blend

A dry rosé of Syrah, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, drawn from cooler, coastal blocks on Waiheke and Ponui Islands and chosen specifically for rosé. Certified vegan.

About Man O' War

Man O' War sits on the rugged eastern end of Waiheke Island, farming the largest vineyard holding on the island across warm clay and volcanic hillside sites cooled by constant sea breezes. The estate takes its name from the 19th century ironclad warships, a nod to the Kauri masts once sourced from this coast. Fruit is hand harvested from many small parcels and made site by site, giving genuine, restaurant-quality wines that carry the maritime character of their place.

Perfect with grilled prawns, a summer salad, or a light charcuterie board. A dry, coastal rosé suits fresh seafood and herby, sun-soaked food.
