Caravan Sauvignon Blanc
John Quarisa, aka Johnny Q, is a terrific winemaker, creating wines that, like him, can be lively and highly charged. In his Caravan wine series, he likes to think of a grape that changes in style as it travels. So that here, Sauvignon Blanc grown in his Riverina vineyards produces a wine still with loads of grassy fresh zip, but along the way, has developed more tropical fruit flavours too. That is peach, pineapple and passionfruit! He insists on night harvested grapes to ensure lots of bright fresh flavours and cool ferments them for the same reason. This wine previously won a Gold medal and we think the 2021 vintage is tasting just as good – it's a fridge-door-must! Chill down and enjoy as a glass on its own or with spicy Thai dishes.
The Ned Pinot Gris
Another terrific white wine to come from New Zealands Marlborough winemaking region. Fresh apple, pear and mandarin flavours with a little touch of spice make this a great match for a coconut and coriander packed curry.
The Ned Rose
A classic bouquet of strawberries and cream, precede a palate full of summer fruits and crunchy red apple. The palate exudes plush and refreshed notes of tangy berry flavours framed with crisp acid edges and fine fruit tannin leading to a lingering finish. Pair with a niçoise salad. The combination of fresh and rustic flavours of tuna, egg, zesty tomatoes and olives compliment the wine’s crunchy fruit, vibrancy and smooth texture. The Greek’s first made Rose 26 centuries ago when they settled in Provence, the oldest wine growing region in France. The light colour of Rose is a result of the short amount of time the grape and skins stay in contact after being crushed. Today, hundreds of years later, Rose continues to gain popularity, and regions like Marlborough are now producing outstanding medal winning Roses like this one!
The Ned Marlborough Chardonnay
A fruit-driven Chardonnay from the land of the long white cloud. Intense nectarine and kumquat aromas elevated by notes of sweet spice, vanilla and lightly buttered popcorn. The palate is plush and generous with an interplay of acid and fine oak tannin, focusing the flavours for a persistent finish. Born of the Waihopai Valley, The Ned represents the vibrant diversity that is so prevalent in the Marlborough wine-growing region. One of Marlborough’s famous peaks, The Ned mountain served as the playground for Marisco founder, Brent Marris, during his youth. The ethos “Young At Heart” encapsulates this wine; a true expression of grassroots winemaking that places the energy and liveliness of adventure in every bottle.

Sleek, shiny and silver, the Moki shines like diamonds as they glide though the ocean.

La Promesse Loire Sauvignon Blanc

It has a delicate floral nose with an inkling of Indian spice while the fruit is more stone-fruit than tropical. The palate is elegant, texturally soft with a mouthfeel of freshness and breadth. The cool climate of the Loire produces wines with distinctive freshness, a lean acidity and a spicy or steely spine.
