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.
The Ned Pinot Noir 2021 offers enticing aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and dried oregano with a hint of allspice. It's ripe-fruited, fleshy palate (more mixed red berries, strawberries and cherries) is balanced by opulent tannins, smoky French oak and a juicy, lingering finish. Hints of loamy earth and licorice add some contrast to the opulent fruit. The Ned is hitting on all cylinders right now and is drinking beautifully.
Perfect with white meats like roasted pork belly with mashed potatoes and peppercorn gravy, or blue cheese-stuffed BBQ mushrooms. Enjoy this vibrant Pinot Noir within 3-5 years, capturing The Ned's bold and elegant style.
WINE SPECTATOR 92 POINTS - "Generous flavors of raspberry puree, maraschino cherry, pomegranate and matcha are fresh and intense. Red licorice, clove and fresh earth accents, along with a touch of blood orange, leave a long, lasting impression. Drink now."
