The King’s Sticky End

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”.

Concentrated flavours of manuka honey, ripe nectarine and apricot with layers of zesty citrus. Lusciously viscous, this Noble Sauvignon Blanc is sweet without being cloying thanks to a delicate thread of acidity which provides a refreshing twist to this mouth-watering wine.

Serve chilled alongside a platter of freshly cut fruits and matured soft rind cheeses.
