The King's Wrath
Marisco Vineyards takes its name from proprietor Brent Marris' notorious ancestors; the de Mariscos, who in the 12th and 13th centuries inhabited Lundy Island, off England's south-west coast. The Kings Series wines were created to celebrate the scandalous stories of those ancestors...
The King's Wrath 2018 Marlborough Pinot Noir
In 1242 and already under suspicion of piracy off the coast of England - one William de Marisco was implicated in an assassination attempt on King Henry the Third.
Found guilty of high treason, William and 16 of his associates were sentenced to death. It is said that the King was so displeased with William, he even requested a special punishment be devised - 'quartering'.
Following his execution, the four parts of William's body were sent to the four corners of the Kingdom - as an example of what would happen to those incurring the full vehemence of the King's Wrath.
'2015 Will long be remembered as a benchmark vintage for Southern Valley's Pinot - richly fragrant aromas of wild berries and red cherry mingled with notes of smoke & toast'.

Tasting Notes
A seamless amalgam of red & dark berries and toasted French oak reveal themselves before the combination of oak, fruit and stem tannin reasserts itself, tightening and focusing the palate for a long, spicy finish.
History
Brent Marris, Marlborough born and raised, spent years as a youngster exploring the landscape of his home region. He put that exploration to good use when, in 2003, he started his search for a vineyard property. The site he chose was 268ha of vineyards on the banks of the Waihopai River, on the southern side of the Wairau Valley. From here, Brent started Marisco Vineyards and achieved international success with his wines, most notably with his flagship brand The Ned.
