Tulia is the Blanc de Blanc in Man O' War's premium Kulta series, a late-disgorged, extra brut sparkling from Waiheke Island. Pure NZ Excellence | Waiheke Island | Methode Traditionelle Tasting Notes Rich in colour and expressive on the nose the 2018 Tulia shows all the hallmarks of a late disgorged vintage wine; butter with a sprinkle of salt, baked pears, and soft brioche. The palate is fresh and lively with the green apple acidity retained along with a further sprinkle of salt on the finish. No sugar was added at dosage, the Tulia 2018 is extra brut in style. A complex, bone-dry Waiheke sparkling for serious bubbles lovers. Why you'll love it: Extra brut and richly textured from its long time on lees, this is a sparkling with real presence, made for celebration and equally at home at the table. 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 fresh oysters, smoked salmon canapés, or light seafood. The bone-dry, leesy style cuts cleanly through rich, salty bites.
