Marisco Vineyards is the creation of the Macdonald family, who bring decades of experience and passion to winemaking. The winery was founded by a fifth-generation winemaking family, with a commitment to producing wines that reflect Marlborough’s distinctiveness. The Ned, part of Marisco Vineyards’ premium range, pays tribute to the family’s history, with its name inspired by “The Ned”—a mountain peak that towers over the vineyard.

The Skyscraper line, including the Sauvignon Blanc, represents the pinnacle of the winery’s dedication to excellence. Crafted from carefully selected grapes grown in some of Marlborough’s best vineyard sites, the Skyscraper Sauvignon Blanc is a refined and sophisticated wine that speaks to the unique attributes of the region. Marisco Vineyards is known for its sustainable farming practices and minimal intervention winemaking, which allows the natural expression of the terroir to shine through in every bottle.

An enticing nose filled with the classic tropical fruit aromas that have made this region’s Sauvignon Blanc famous. Expect a burst of passionfruit, grapefruit, and pineapple, intertwined with herbal notes of fresh-cut grass, green pepper, and a touch of basil. The combination of these vibrant, fruity and herbaceous notes is balanced by a subtle minerality that adds depth and complexity.

On the palate, the wine is crisp and lively, with a refreshing acidity that provides structure and balance. The tropical fruit flavours from the nose translate onto the palate, creating a juicy and mouthwatering experience. The finish is clean, lingering, and slightly zesty, leaving behind a refreshing note of citrus and minerality that makes this Sauvignon Blanc truly stand out. Its elegance and brightness make it a delightful wine to sip on its own or enjoy with food.
