Description
Man O’ War is all about precision vineyard selection, with nearly 100 different sites to choose from. Winemaker Duncan McTavish takes this even further, experimenting with diverse techniques to bring out the best in each parcel. Despite the challenges of the 2022 vintage, marked by heavy rainfall, only the finest, ripest fruit was meticulously handpicked and rigorously sorted at the winery. The result? A beautifully crafted Bordeaux blend that stands as a testament to skill, selection, and resilience.
Smells
Red fruits, mulberries, red currants with added nuances of dark plums, blackberries and blackcurrant leaf aromas with cedar, abundant spice and wood smoke, finishing with sandalwood notes.
Tastes
A wine with plush, juicy fruit, red fruit flavours, a nice level of ripeness, with complexing elements of forest floor and earthy, savoury notes. The tannins carry a presence as does the focus acid line, resulting in a robust, youthful mouthfeel. If you cannot resist, decant prior to serving, otherwise drinking well 2028 through 2032+. Serve with pasta, stews or BBQed meats. The recommended serving temperature is 16-18 degrees.
