The Ned Marlborough Chardonnay (750ml) is a wonderfully vibrant, expressive, and beautifully textured white wine that effortlessly captures the energetic spirit of Marlborough’s unique landscape. Crafted by renowned winemaker Brent Marris and the family-owned team at Marisco Vineyards, this highly popular drop takes its name from one of the highest peaks overlooking the rugged Wairau Valley. Sourced from the clay-rich soils of the estate's river terrace vineyards, this contemporary wine delivers a plush, succulent, and perfectly balanced profile where bright, sun-drenched orchard fruits are enhanced by a sophisticated, subtle touch of buttery oak richness.
Clay-Rich Terroir & Enhanced Complexity
The secret behind its distinct texture lies in the estate's prime vineyard site along the southern banks of the Waihopai River. The heavy clay soils naturally slow down vine growth, producing grapes with intense fruit density and concentration. In the cellar, the winemakers employ a careful combination of stainless steel tank and French oak barrel fermentation. Maturation on its fine yeast lees with regular stirring introduces a lovely, rounded mid-palate weight and a delicate creaminess, while Marlborough's signature cool nights ensure the wine retains a lively line of crisp freshness.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: Highly expressive, fresh, and invitingly complex. The nose opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe nectarine, white peach, and orange blossom, seamlessly layered over a savory backdrop of roasted almonds, toasted brioche, and a hint of creamy vanilla spice.
  • Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied, smooth, and wonderfully juicy. The palate treats the mouth to a succulent, flesh-driven core of stone fruit, pink grapefruit, and lemon curd, supported by a finely textured, velvety mouthfeel.
  • Finish: Crisp, dry, and exceptionally clean. It tapers off into a persistent finish driven by a precise line of refreshing citrus acidity and a lingering, subtle touch of warm savory oak.
