Background information

Brent Marris, Marlborough born and raised, spent years as a youngster exploring the landscape of his home region. He put that exploration to good use when, in 2003, he started his search for a vineyard property. The site he chose was 268ha of vineyards on the banks of the Waihopai River, on the southern side of the Wairau Valley. From here, Brent started Marisco Vineyards and achieved international success with his wines, most notably with his flagship brand “The Ned”.

Tasting note

An elegant, finely structured palate that wraps creamy nougat, ripe citrus and white fleshed stonefruit flavoursaround a long, linear core of juicy acidity.
