Product Notes

Man O' War Ironclad is a majestic, full-bodied Bordeaux blend hailing from the windswept coastal vineyards of New Zealand's Waiheke Island. A symphony of formidable Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec, Ironclad lavishes the senses with layers of ripe blackberries, cassis and cigar box undertones. This wine exudes a superbly balanced profundity with its firm tannins, making it robust and expressive. Its notably long finish and intoxicating bouquet reflect the dedication to viticulture and masterful winemaking. Savour Man O' War Ironclad wine periodically decanted, paired with hearty cuisine. A testament to New World viticulture, it embodies the spirit and craftsmanship of its moniker.

Tasting Notes

The 'Bordeaux blend' Ironclad presents immediate aromatic complexity: black cherry, blackberry, cedar, pencil shavings, olive tapenade, wet slate, elderberry, and vibrant violet. Boisterous, juicy fruit and refined tannins offer a sumptuous palate, enjoyable now or cellaring-worthy. Finishes with appealing, intricate, and savoury notes. A wine of balance, structure, and allure.
