Wine of Marlborough, New Zealand.
Certified vegan, NZVS.
The Ned Sauvignon Blanc displays punchy aromatics of lemon and lime citrus with undertones of juicy tropical fruits. Plush on the palate, showing juicy grapefruit freshness with lively acidity carrying these classical Waihopai Valley characters to a lengthy finish. 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. Crafted to be enjoyed at the peak of its vibrancy and freshness, we recommend drinking this wine within 2 - 3 years of vintage date.
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.

Regional information: 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. Vinification Details - 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.
