Sauvignon Blanc

Origin
Awarded Decanter Regional Trophy 2012 for Best New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc Under £10. 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 268ha vineyard and is the origin of the shingle-based soil.
Taste
A nose of nettles and grass leads to generous gooseberry flavours with a smoky herbal twist on the palate. The stony terroir gives the wine a subtle gun flint minerality which delivers extra complexity.
Enjoy
Drink now with fresh summer salads and seafood.

Staff Reviews

  • "The Ned is an excellent Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, and a firm favourite among staff, and customers alike. On the border of very classy and easily aproachable, a lovely fruity wine to enjoy on any occasion, or if you want to show off, it has enough depth and complexity to impress!"

  • A perfect go-to NZ Sauvignon

    "Despite the connotations of 'Ned' in Scotland (an acronym for Non-Educated Delinquent), the Ned Sauvignon is anything but unrefined. It has hallmark crisp acidity, vibrant gooseberry and nettle, with a touch of passionfruit and a really lovely gun-flint mineral streak on the finish. It's tremendous value and deservedly a firm favourite amongst Majestic customers and staff, with good reason. Remarkably complex for its very modest price, it's proof positive that you can have good quality Marlborough Sauvignon at an accessible price; perfect if you're entertaining and want to impress your guests without re-mortgaging."

  • Refreshingly crisp, surprisingly complex

    "A classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc named after the highest peak in the area in which it is made, the Ned is a hugely popular wine with Majestic customers across the country. Refreshingly crisp, surprisingly complex and well balanced, it's a great choice whether you're entertaining or simply looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy on its own or with lighter meals."
