Man O'War

Man O’ War planted their first vines in 1993. Today, their vineyard consists of 150 acres of vines planted in 76 individual hillside blocks, each with a distinct soil profile and microclimate. Every single block bears the footprints and sometimes the names, of those who transformed the rugged hillsides into a spectacular patchwork of vines. Each block has been meticulously designed with different rootstocks, clones and planting densities to best match the specific terroir. Helmed by winemaker Duncan McTavish, the viticulture and winemaking team have remained unchanged for over a decade. Man O’ War is located at the eastern end of Waiheke Island, New Zealand within a 4,500-acre family farm and bay.
