The King's Favour Sauvignon Blanc

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.

Marisco Vineyards takes its name from proprietor Brent Marris' notorious ancestors; the de Mariscos, who in the 12th and 13th centuries inhabited Lundy Island, off England's south-west coast. The King's Series wines were created to celebrate the scandalous stories of those ancestors...

The King's Favour 2019 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
In 1204, despite apparently using Lundy Island as a base for piracy against North Devon traders and along the English coast, one William de Marisco was strangely appointed to be in charge of a number of the Royal Galleys - whose very purpose was to defend against such piracy.
William was also granted the Manor of Braunton (in Devon) by King John - both these factors were surprising evidence of the King's favour.

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¿.

Brent Marris

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.
