The Ned Rose

The Ned Rosé offers aromas of strawberries and cream with hints of red apple and peach, leading to a palate reminiscent of strawberry cream pie. The wine has a creamy, silky texture with flavours of perfumed red berries and a light floral character. It finishes with medium length and a gentle mineral quality that keeps it refreshing and balanced.

The Ned Rosé is produced by Marisco Vineyards in Marlborough, New Zealand. This rosé is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in Marlborough's sun-drenched vineyards, a region celebrated for producing vibrant, fruit-driven wines with excellent natural acidity. The wine sits at 12.5–13% ABV.

The Ned Rosé pairs beautifully with grilled seafood such as prawns or salmon, Mediterranean dishes featuring olive oil and fresh herbs, and soft cheeses like Gruyère or brie. Its balanced acidity and red fruit character also complement light pasta dishes and summer salads with vinaigrette dressings.

This Marlborough rosé works well with light, delicate dishes that won't overwhelm its fruit-forward profile. Try it alongside antipasti platters, grilled vegetables, or chicken salads. The wine's creamy texture and strawberry notes also make it an excellent match for charcuterie boards and mild, creamy cheeses.

Serve The Ned Rosé lightly chilled at 8–10°C to preserve its delicate aromatics and fresh fruit character. If stored in a standard refrigerator, remove the bottle about 10 minutes before serving to let it warm slightly. Use a white wine glass to concentrate the strawberry and floral aromas. No decanting is necessary for this style of wine.
