Barworks visit Man O' War Vineyards December 2010 !
On the first day of summer, 1 December 2010 , the Man O' War team invited the Barworks crew to come along to Waiheke Island for the day. We gathered at the ferry terminal , hopped on and cruised on to Waiheke. We visited some of our vineyards with Matt Allen, our vineyard manager who shared his knowledge and wisdom. We made our way to the cellar door where Matt ran us through a tasting of our current and new releases accompanied by a delicious lunch! Man O' War would like to thank those who came along for the day and we hope everyone had a great time.
Exiled Pinot Gris 2010 world release
The latest release from the Man O' War Flagship range: EXILED Ponui Island Pinot Gris 2010 has its world launch at Clooney Restaurant in Auckland today.
Officially not released until early next year, there are only 56 cases available in New Zealand.
Named in tribute to Napoleon’s final place of exile where he was banished after his defeat at Waterloo. Exiled is awarded to our most prized Pinot Gris, made exclusively from the St Helena clone grown on our Ponui Island vineyards.
This, the first vintage of Exiled displays intense spice characteristic of ripe Pinot Gris ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg with hints of citrus and floral notes. On the palate it’s natural sweetness is balanced with an outstanding minerality and freshness with a grapefruit finish lending length and persistence.
The 2010 vintage on Ponui Island was exceptional, very ripe clean fruit was hand harvested and transported across the water for processing at the winery. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and the must settled crystal clear before racking off solids. The juice was fermented with cultured yeast until the ferment stopped naturally at the perfect balance.
Already Exiled has launched with to a great start, Jane Skilton MW reviewed this wine last weekend in the Hearld on Sunday, giving it 4 ½ Stars, "this premium pinot gris is a fine grape expression; gently aromatic with lovely depth. A touch of sweetness, balanced by succulent acidity."

MOW, EuroVintage, Glengarry fishing trip Oct 2010 !
The weather was not in our favour but the crew were eager to make the most of the day!
Some of us could even multi task- sipping while fishing !
And some... were happy to catch the fish but did'nt want to go near them!
Only three fish were caught on the day but the great crew, food and plenty of wine made up for the lack of catches!
Thanks to EuroVintage and Glengarry's and Bryan for making the day an enjoyable one!
