Bellerophon

2012 Waiheke Island Syrah & Viognier

Man O' War Bellerophon is a stunning red wine that beautifully showcases the harmony between Syrah and Viognier from the renowned Waiheke Island. Its deep ruby color captivates the eye, hinting at the richness within. This wine boasts a full-bodied character, offering an inviting mouthfeel that is both robust and velvety. The acidity is well-balanced, adding a lively freshness that enhances the overall experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of dark berries, spice, and floral undertones that dance on the palate. Tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure without overwhelming. This delightful blend is crafted to be dry, making it a superb choice for those seeking a wine that pairs well with hearty dishes, while also being enjoyable on its own.

New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
