Marisco The Ned Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand 750ml

Marisco Vineyards is a family-owned and operated, award-winning Marlborough wine producer and home to iconic wine brand The Ned.

Established in 2006, The Ned was the passion project of esteemed Marlborough winemaker Brent Marris, inspired by his childhood stomping ground in Marlborough's Wither Hills range.

Following The Ned's meteoric rise to fame Brent turned to his own family history for inspiration when looking to expand the portfolio. This saw the birth of the Kings' Series brand in 2009, a series of wines that pay homage to the scandalous and often notorious stories of Marris' own forebears; the de Marisco's.

With roots deeply embedded in Marlborough and an unwavering sense of family, owners Brent and Rosemary Marris are passionate about creating a family legacy.

This has driven growth into the ultra-premium wine space with the creation of the Craft Series brand, a range of wines dedicated to people that have been key to the growth and success of Marisco Vineyards. This began with a tribute to Brent's own father, John Marris, a true pioneer. Fondly referred to as a founding father of the Marlborough wine industry, john worked on behalf of Montana wines from 1972, first identifying and sourcing land suitable for grape growing and then as Operations Manager and Viticultural Advisor for 10 years.

TASTING NOTE

An expressive bouquet of lime zest, punchy herbs and gooseberry. The fleshy fruit core is focussed by a backbone of lively acidity, carrying classic varietal characters to a lengthy finish.

FOOD MATCHING

The combination of the fresh acidity and delicate palate of this wine will lend itself well to seafoods and salads. Try alongside oysters with a mild vinaigrette, or a crab and artichoke salad.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Crafted to be enjoyed at the peak of its vibrancy and freshness, we recommend drinking this wine within 2–3 years of vintage date.
