Brent Marris Winemaker/Proprietor Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week Features Wine of Wairau Marlborough, New Zealand Country of origin New Zealand Package type Bottle Allergen Information Contains Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphites Brand details 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 Legacy 2018 Marlborough Chardonnay The de Mariscos apparently descended from a William de Marisco (approximately AD 1100), who was said to be one of the 35 illegitimate children of King Henry the First - thereby making William part of the King's Legacy. The de Mariscos continued a rocky relationship with the monarchy in subsequent generations, ultimately ending with the tragic execution of a later William for piracy and his alleged involvement in a treasonous plot. Manufacturer Marisco Vineyards Limited, Guernsey Rd, Marlborough, New Zealand. Agent Kingsland Drinks Grape variety Chardonnay Current vintage 2018 Vinification details With one of the warmest starts to a growing season since records began, all of the industry talk was of a super early, highly condensed harvest. Consistently above average temperatures through September, October and November combined with typical spring rainfall meant an excellent start to the season, with a near perfect bud burst and optimum growing conditions for strong canopy development.
