It is deep lemon in colour, with an expansive bouquet filled with aromas of pear drops, feijoa, spice and floral notes. On the palate it is full-bodied and unctuous, with a tangy hint of ginger. The earlier picked fruit adds freshness and satisfying acidity, while the late picked portion and lees ageing have increased the mouth feel and complexity of this wine.

A portion of nobly botrytic fruit has produced a distinctive style of wine. It has a core of citrus fruit characters, particularly lemons and limes, but there is also an undercurrent of white fleshed peaches and nectarines. The botrytis has added hints of honeysuckle and also given the wine extra concentration and richness. A seam of natural acidity and minerality flows through the wine and gives it an off-dry finish length and zest.

Man O' War Chardonnay exhibits intense ripe stone fruit characters with subtle hints of toasty French oak and a lovely nutty lees influence.

Crisp and clean this is our most successful vintage of Sauvignon blanc and is perfectly suited to the local Te Matuku Oysters which are farmed close to Man O' War, or similarly the abundant seafood that thrive in the surrounding coastal waters.

Pinot gris for the Exiled comes from the St Helena clone of Pinot gris and is grown on both Waiheke and Ponui Islands. The wines are chilled to below zero to stop the fermentation before blending, the blend is held at low temperatures in the cellar until bottling to retain as much of the natural carbon dioxide as possible.

Classical in its fresh herb, lime cordial and passionfruit seed with a coastal element of weathered rock and salt spray. The palate is linear and textured finishing dry and salivating. Picking early has not only captured the classic herbal notes of the variety but has allowed for the vibrant acid profile to be balanced by the concentration from low yields, a hint of barrel weight and a touch of residual sugar retained from the fermentation.

The Valhalla has a wealth of ripe aromas; nectarine and grapefruit with complex layers of baking bread, cashew and flinty reductive elements. Rich and fulsome on the palate, with a spine of acidity harmoniously interwoven with richness and a ripe citrus finish.

Ripe peach and melon layered with butterscotch and toasty oak notes. The palate is big, rich and full with great length and weight.

A rich and creamy Gisborne favourite, bursting with ripe peach and melon flavours complemented by subtle butterscotch and fig notes. Its smooth texture and balanced finish make it a perfect match for seafood, chicken, veal, and light cheeses.

A soft and voluptuous full-bodied white wine that opens with a pale straw colour and a fragrant bouquet of jasmine, almond, and pear. The textural palate is richly concentrated with complex notes of spice, pear, fig, and honeysuckle, all perfectly balanced by a lovely acidity that leads to a crisp, dry finish. This elegant and aromatic wine makes a delightful accompaniment to fish, chicken, pork, or fresh Japanese cuisine.

A fruity, vibrant, and refreshing rosé with a lovely light peach-salmon colour. Aromas of fresh strawberry, cherries, and delicate floral notes lead into a palate of ripe strawberry and watermelon, complemented by subtle creamy notes and a crisp, dry finish. Perfect as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with summer salads, fresh seafood, and other light seasonal dishes.

A tropical and zesty white wine displaying a pale straw colour with a hint of gold. Its inviting aroma combines vibrant tropical fruit and passionfruit with a subtle herbaceous note. On the palate, it delivers a refreshing blend of melon, stone fruit, and delicate passionfruit, culminating in a richness and fullness unique to high-quality Sauvignon Blanc. This lively wine is the perfect match for fresh summer salads, seafood, and white meats.
