The Ned Description

ROBINS

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.

A perfumed nose greets you with an array of youthful, bright fruit; red plum, cherry and blackcurrant. These aromatics, mirrored on the palate are intricately woven with subtle layers of spice and smoky oak creating an alluring savoury element. Juicy acidity and fine-grained tannin showcase a plush yet refreshing palate with delightful persistence.

Our Pinot Noir vines are planted in the deep clay loams of the Southern Valleys, universally regarded as the finest Pinot Noir terroir in Marlborough. The vines are cane pruned and meticulously
tended to achieve a naturally balanced crop of intensely flavoured fruit. Ripe fruit was completely destemmed, but not crushed, with the aim of achieving a significant percentage of intact berries in the ferment. Individual batches were macerated cold prior to a five-day fermentation where the cap temperature was allowed to peak at between 30 – 32C. The wine remained on skins post fermentation to optimise tannin extraction whilst locking in the deep, ruby colour. Drained and pressed; this wine was aged in a mix of tank and French oak puncheons for nine months during which time it underwent a complete malolactic fermentation.
