Man O' War Estate Chardonnay 2022

Man O' War Estate Chardonnay 2022

• Region: Auckland
• Sub-Region: Waiheke Island

Vineyard Cultivated across several high-altitude, volcanic hillsides on Waiheke Island. These sites are exposed to the cooling influence of the Hauraki Gulf, which slows the ripening process and ensures the fruit retains elegant acidity alongside its tropical power.

Wine This Estate Chardonnay bridges the gap between elegance and opulence. It offers notes of ripe peach, grapefruit, and a hint of cashew. The palate is structural and precise with a fine mineral thread and well-integrated French oak.

Food Pairings
