Tytti is the Bordeaux blend in Man O' War's premium Kulta series, a structured, cellar-worthy red from Waiheke Island. Pure NZ Excellence | Waiheke Island | Cellar-Worthy Tasting Notes Pronounced "Too-tee" the 2019 Tytti is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The components are chosen for their fruit purity, texture, structure and concentration. The result is a wine of stature which rises from the glass with pure black fruit characters, hints of lavender and rose oil with a graphite edge. The palate is structured with ripe tannin and a firm grip that will loosen its tension with age. An age-worthy, structured Bordeaux blend from one of Waiheke's finest sites. Why you'll love it: This is a collector's red, with the depth, grip and structure to reward years in the cellar. One for a special bottle night. 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 prime rib, braised short ribs, or aged hard cheese. Its firm structure stands up to rich, slow-cooked meats.
