The King's Wrath Pinot Noir

Delicious aromas of loganberry, damson plum with hints of lanolin supported by toasty oak. The palate is rich and mouth filling due to a complex tannin structure with blackberry and cassis flavours intertwined with an opulent smokiness.

The Ned

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 Kings Series wines were created to celebrate the scandalous stories of those ancestors...
The King's Wrath 2018 Marlborough Pinot Noir
In 1242 and already under suspicion of piracy off the coast of England - one William de Marisco was implicated in an assassination attempt on King Henry the Third.
Found guilty of high treason, William and 16 of his associates were sentenced to death. It is said that the King was so displeased with William, he even requested a special punishment be devised - 'quartering'.
Following his execution, the four parts of William's body were sent to the four corners of the Kingdom - as an example of what would happen to those incurring the full vehemence of the King's Wrath.

'2015 Will long be remembered as a benchmark vintage for Southern Valley's Pinot - richly fragrant aromas of wild berries and red cherry mingled with notes of smoke & toast'.

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”.

Pinot Noir

2018

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.

A seamless amalgam of red & dark berries and toasted French oak reveal themselves before the combination of oak, fruit and stem tannin reasserts itself, tightening and focusing the palate for a long, spicy finish.

The young wines were then drained and pressed before being aged in 50% new French oak puncheons for 11 months, with
malo-lactic fermentation occurring naturally as the weather warmed in early spring.
