Product Notes
Man O' War Dreadnought Syrah is a bold and robust wine that reflects the powerful character of Syrah grape varietal. Sourced from the stony inland hills of Waiheke Island, New Zealand, the grapes are carefully handpicked, sorted and fermented using traditional techniques. The wine has a deep purple color and aromas of black cherry, plum, and chocolate intertwined with hints of black pepper and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with firm tannins, and a long, rich finish. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, the wine exhibits a velvety texture and complex flavor profile. Enjoy this wine with grilled lamb, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. Man O' War Dreadnought Syrah is a fine representation of the potential Syrah from Waiheke Island can offer.
Tasting Notes
Classic Dreadnought, smoky peat, earthy crushed rock overlaid with blueberry, dark berry, and dried herbs. The palate is athletic with a ripped middleweight physique, an artful display of power and control. The fruit is ripe, coating the core of tannin and acidity, which is supported by a sinew of stem inclusion further balanced by a high quality framework of oak. 2020 Dreadnought continues its run as a unique and unorthodox Syrah from an excellent vintage.
