Mana , produced by the up-and-coming winery Invivo, is an extremely popular bottle in Japan, having won first place in a daily wine competition in a feature in the magazine Wine Style.

In addition to grapes from Marlborough, grapes from Central Otago are also used, giving the wine a strong red fruit flavor while also providing a rich depth of flavour.

This wine has a slightly light taste and goes well with Japanese food with sweet soy sauce, such as yakitori and Chikuzenni. It also goes well with meat snacks such as roast beef, and grilled meat seasoned simply with salt, pepper and lemon.

About the Winery "Invivo"
