Man O’ War Estate Bordeaux Blend

A New World wine with the Old World as inspiration (so often the case).  The island of Waiheke, just off the coast of New Zealand’s North Island is a gem of a wine region thanks to cooling sea breezes, great soils and a host of other factors in its favour when it comes to ripening grapes. This is a great blend of five grapes usually found in classic Bordeaux blends and is loaded with bramble fruits and lots of spice thanks to time spent ageing in oak barrels. Needs food, preferably something meaty.
