Tasting Notes

You will not go amiss with flavours that complement the distinct varietal character in this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - a style that has a real sense of place. Think seafood and fresh harvested salads loaded with herbs. Try scallops sautéed in garlic butter with a slash of lemon, accompanied by a rocket and herb salad topped with fresh goat’s cheese.

Winemaker

Born of the Waihopai Valley, The Ned represents the vibrant diversity that is so prevalent in the Marlborough wine-growing region. One of Marlborough's famous peaks, The Ned mountain served as the playground for Marisco founder, Brent Marris, during his youth. The ethos “Young At Heart” encapsulates this wine; a true expression of grassroots winemaking that places the energy and liveliness of adventure in every bottle.

History

Sauvignon Blanc fruit is sourced from vineyards located in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough, offering a diverse range of soil types from free draining river beds to deep loams. Alongside various soil types, vineyards combine north facing slopes and diverse micro-climates. All characteristics require precision viticulture to highlight the unique flavours from each site.

Regional Information

Current Vintage

Fruit is sourced from vineyards located in the Southern Valleys of Marlborough. The preservation of aromatic and fruit flavours from the vineyard through to the winery is of the utmost importance in our Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit is field destemmed before being gently pressed into stainless steel tanks. The juice is fermented at cool temperatures with selected yeast strains aimed at developing a full flavour spectrum; from green and citrus notes to riper, more tropical flavours.
