The pinnacle of Man O' War's Chardonnay, built to reward the cellar. Why you'll love it: This is a serious, special-occasion Chardonnay, with the concentration, length and structure to age gracefully or to impress at the table now. 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 crayfish in a cream sauce, pan-seared scallops, or aged Gruyère. Its concentration and creamy texture match rich, savoury dishes.
