Partially from one of New Zealand's remotest vineyards - on the tiny island of Ponui, just off the coast of Waiheke. Finally back after a long hiatus: Waiheke's ultimate icon has officially returned! The 2025 Exiled masterfully balances delicate natural sweetness with an electric, saline spine. Bursting with white nectarine, lime zest, and ginger, it delivers a fine mineral edge and a subtle natural spritz on the finish. Anything but ordinary—this is a vibrant, coastal off-dry white that was worth every second of the wait.

Man O' War Exiled Pinot Gris 2025

Tasting note

The 2025 Exiled is a luminous, aromatic white that walks the tightrope between vibrant acidity and delicate sweetness—a beautifully judged expression of island-grown fruit from a long, temperate vintage. Bright and lifted on the nose, it opens with notes of white nectarine, green apple, elderflower, and lime zest, all wrapped in a cool thread of wet stone and sea breeze. The aromatics are crystalline, precise, pure, and quietly exotic. On the palate, the wine is juicy and mouth-filling, with tension humming beneath the surface. Natural residual sugar offers width, perfectly balanced by electric acidity and a fine mineral edge. Flavours of mandarin peel, honeysuckle, and stone fruit unfold with each sip, leading to a long finish that feels refreshing and composed, enhanced by a light spritz from natural carbon dioxide. Utterly drinkable yet far from simple, the 2025 Exiled is a compelling off-dry white with clarity, coastal character, and quiet confidence.

92/100

Spicy nose of underripe peaches, sliced apples and hints of savory herbs and wet stones. Medium-bodied and slightly off-dry, yet vibrant with fresh acidity. Delicious and seductive. Drink now.

Vintage 2025: Harvested between February 10th and March 15th from hillside vineyards on the eastern side of Waiheke Island and coastal plots fringing Ponui Island. Early hand-picking retained vibrant acidity and green citrus characters, while progressive harvesting later in the season brought flavours of mandarin, ginger, and a small element of noble fruit.

Fermentation was long and cool with selected aromatic yeasts, stopping naturally with 24 g/l of residual sugar to balance the bright acid line. Bottled young and fresh to capture site energy and a light, natural spritz.
