Man O' War Ironclad Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

Ironclad is a full-bodied red blend made from traditional Bordeaux grape varieties which are grown on Waiheke Island. It's a blend of 45% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot, 11% Petit Verdot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Malbec, which make a complex, structured red for ageing up to 10 years of drinking now, decanted and served in your largest red wine glass.

Its name comes from 19th-century warships characterised by iron bolted onto wooden hulls, in a similar way to the way the warm clay weaves itself into Waiheke Island's hillside vineyards.
