Tasting Notes

Man O' War Estate Chardonnay 2023 is loaded with citrus zest and crisp orchard fruits along with fresh bread and a subtle creamy nutty hazelnut character. The wine is full-bodied with an excellent balance between fruit weight, acidity, and crisp tannin. A wine for every occasion.

An approachable, food-friendly Chardonnay from one of New Zealand's most distinctive island vineyards.

Why you'll love it: Easy to love and easy to pour, rich enough for a roast chicken yet fresh enough for a sunny afternoon on the deck.

The Vineyard

The Estate Chardonnay is drawn from elevated sites across the Man O' War property, cooler spots exposed to the winds coming off the Pacific Ocean, which keeps the fruit fresh and the acidity bright.

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 roast chicken, creamy pasta, or grilled fish. The bright citrus and creamy, nutty texture sit beautifully with buttery and cream-based dishes.
