Wine Pairing

The Ned Rose – Marlborough NZ

Enticing aromas of wild strawberries and watermelon with a delicate floral lift. With a crisp acidity creating a juicy, flavourful palate of red fruit with a lingering finish that is deliciously moreish.

A versatile wine to be enjoyed year-round although nothing beats a glass of The Ned Rosé at the beach with freshly caught tuna sashimi and a crunchy green salad!

The Ned Sauvignon Blanc– Marlborough NZ

Delightfully ripe aromas of gooseberry and white peach are laced with refreshing notes of kaffir lime with a bright, zesty finish.

Any fresh seafood sautéed in garlic butter with a crunchy green garden salad or oysters are a perfect pairing. These delicate flavours will complement the bright varietal characters of this wine.
