The Ned, Sauvignon Blanc 2023

The Ned Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a bright, unmistakably New Zealand expression of the variety, offering the fresh, zesty style Marlborough has become famous for. Sourced from Marisco’s vineyards in the Southern Valleys near the Waihopai River, it combines vibrant fruit with a clean mineral edge and a distinctly modern, approachable profile.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale straw color with green reflections, signaling its freshness and energy. The nose is clean and lively, with aromas of lime, freshly cut grass, and a subtle mineral character that gives the wine extra definition. On the palate, this is classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc: crisp citrus, grapefruit, and passion fruit framed by juicy acidity and a refreshing, mouthwatering finish. It is made to be enjoyed young for maximum vibrancy, though it will hold its freshness well over the short term.

Production
The fruit for The Ned comes from Marisco’s vineyards in the Southern Valleys near the Waihopai River, an area whose soils have been strongly shaped by the river’s influence. That terroir helps deliver the wine’s characteristic balance of ripe fruit, brightness, and mineral precision.

Food & Serving
This Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, goat cheese, light salads, sushi, and grilled white fish. Serve chilled at 8–10°C; decanting is not necessary, as the wine is best enjoyed straight from the bottle while its aromatics are at their most vivid.

Producer
The Ned is part of the Marisco portfolio, a respected New Zealand producer known for crafting expressive wines with a strong Marlborough identity. The label has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, regionally true Sauvignon Blanc with broad appeal and consistent recognition among fans of fresh, aromatic white wine.
