Salmon pink in colour with fragrant aromas of strawberries and red currents. On the palate it is dry and finely textured, with fresh and vibrant minerality.

The wine shows a complex interplay of tropical fruit characters with elements of passion-fruit, mango and paw paw, supported by impressions of ripe gooseberries and dried herbs. It is fruity and mouth filling but yet has a refreshing spine of crisp acidity which keeps it focussed and helps draw out its length.

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.

Our Pinque Rose wine is remarkably consistent year on year and the 2019 is no different. Pale salmon in colour with fresh and inviting red berry characters matching a clean, crisp and fresh palate. The 2019 Pinque is a perfect all season aperitif or served as a refreshing taste of summer!

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.

Fruit notes of white fleshed stone fruits and ripe citrus zest lead to the rich, creamy mid-palate, with oak derived notes of grilled nuts and baking spice.

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.
