Cuisine Magazine NZs Best Chardonnay

***** MAN O'WAR CHARDONNAY 2008 - This one is big, the way Jonah Lomu was at his peak: toned, powerful, mesmerising. Layers of toasty oak do not detract from the ripe fruit at the heart of this wine. Bring on the pork belly and crackling!

**** 1/2 MAN O'WAR VALHALLA CHARDONNAY 2008 - The 2008 vintage was good for Waiheke generally, very good for Man O'War in particular. This wine is concentrated, deepish in colour and exhibits yellow peach and mirabelle flavours. A refreshing acidity provides balance.
