| Sauvignon Blanc - White New Zealand Wine Marisco Vineyards The King's Favour Sauvignon Blanc 750ml Tropical aromas of gooseberry and guava with underlying blackcurrant leaf and box-hedge create a lively, fresh expression on the nose. A weighty palate is driven by white peach and grapefruit flavours leading to a salivating dryness stemming from the classic Waihopai acidity. Brent Marris Winemaker/Proprietor Type of Closure: Screwcap Current Vintage: 2019 Producer: Marisco Grape Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Winemaker: Brent Marris Agent: Kingsland Drinks Vinification Details: Juice from gently pressed whole berries was fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to retain fruit expression and aromatic purity. After fermentation the wine was blended and left on light lees to build texture, while maintaining freshness. This wine is a blend of select vineyard parcels from both the upper and lower terraces, with each component contributing different aspects of Sauvignon expression. History: 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”. Regional Information: New Zealand's flagship wine region which, in combination with Sauvignon Blanc, put the country on the international wine stage. Much more than just Sauvignon though, Marlborough offers increasing depth in both varieties and terroir.
