by Red+White Cellar 1 orders

$176.00

Man O’ War Exiled Pinot Gris 2025 is produced by Man O’ War Vineyards on Waiheke Island, shaped by the island’s maritime influence to deliver freshness and subtle texture. This is an elegant and expressive Pinot Gris, opening with aromas of ripe pear, white peach and apple skin, layered with hints of jasmine, gentle spice and a touch of wet stone. The palate is medium bodied and finely balanced, showing soft stone fruit flavours framed by fresh acidity and a light phenolic grip that adds structure without weight. A quiet mineral line carries through the mid-palate, lending poise and length. The style sits confidently between freshness and texture, making it highly versatile at the table. The 2025 vintage received 91 points from Bob Campbell MW, highlighting its balance and immediate appeal. Man O’ War Exiled Pinot Gris is drinking beautifully on release and is best enjoyed over the next two to three years for its purity and charm.

About Man O’ War Wines

Man O’ War is without a doubt one of New Zealand’s greatest wineries in the making and one to watch.

On the challenging and remote landscape of Waiheke Island in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf you’ll find Man O’ War. A 4,500-acre family farm with over 150-acres under vine.

We planted our first vines in 1993. Over the next two decades we explored our farm and analysed the kingdom that lies beneath in search of the best single vineyard locations to one day make world-class wine.

Today you’ll find no less than 75 vineyards across the farm, and a few we’ve abandoned along the way. We’ve become well known for our Syrah, Chardonnay and Waiheke’s signature Bordeaux Blends. We also produce a distinctly different Sauvignon Blanc a seriously drinkable Pinot Gris and our (infamous) Rosé.

The only thing we respect more than our wine is our diverse agricultural land. When you visit; as well as vineyards you’ll see our orchards, olive groves, restored native forests and beehives. All of this along with our livestock is foraged for our cellar door restaurant, a true farm-to-table ethos.

We even encourage the odd sand fly to join our biodiversity at the cellar door and tasting room. New Zealand’s only beachfront tasting experience where you can taste all our wines while watching the waves wash up on the sandy shore as local boaties drop in for much needed ‘supplies’.

Man O’ War is steeped in history dating back to early Polynesian adventurers. The protected cove has provided safe harbour during many rough seas. The bay was named by navigators in the late 1700s.

The magnificent Kauri trees we’re noted in the early shipping journals, they made ideal masts for the naval Man O’ War warships, and thus the name Man O’ War was bestowed upon this special place.
