"Beautifully fruited and fabulously expressed, the wine shows passionfruit, green rockmelon, feijoa and lime peel aromas on the nose, leading to a vibrant palate that is intensely flavoured and lingering. It is up front and punchy with gorgeous varietal purity backed by refreshing acidity, finishing long and delectable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2019

Delightfully ripe aromas of gooseberry and white peach are laced with refreshing notes of kaffir lime. The fleshy mid palate is tamed by an underlying minerally acid backbone that culminates in a bright, zesty finish. Crafted to be enjoyed at the peak of its vibrancy and freshness.

The vineyards of The Ned are located on the banks of the Waihopai River and on the southern side of the Wairau Valley. The river runs the length of the 268 hectare vineyard and is the origin of the shingle-based soil.
