TASTING NOTES

 

PALATE

The 2022 Pinque has classic strawberries and cream characters along with watermelon and a touch of Szechuan pepper.

 

VINIFICATION

Our Pinque Rosé is harvested from selected coastal vineyards on Waiheke and Ponui Islands. These steep low yielding dry farmed vines produce grapes that are wonderfully ripe in flavour at relatively low sugar resulting in a fruit driven light bodied wine. The fruit is all hand harvested and ‘champagne’ pressed for a long press cycle aimed at producing the lightest freshest juice with the least amount of tannin as possible. The juice is settled and racked clean for cool fermentation with selected yeasts and then filtered and bottled in the winter.

 

VINTAGE NOTES

The 2022 vintage was warm and dry and correspondingly this wine is relatively low in acid making for a very smashable wine, although like all our wines there is plenty of subtle complexity to delight the taster. Enjoy!

 

GRAPE VARIETY

42% Syrah, 30% Merlot, 24% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc.

 

Man O’ War is located at the eastern end of Waiheke Island, New Zealand, upon which is a stunning array of coastal hillsides with high cliffs and pristine beaches forming a ruggedly beautiful coastline. Today, Man O’ War 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 Man O’ War’s 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 on offer.
