"Offering fabulous fruit purity together with seductive complexity, the wine shows dark cherry, raspberry, roasted nut, subtle game and floral aromas on the nose. The palate displays excellent weight and richness, while remaining stylish and elegant with soothing mouthfeel and a lingering sophisticated finish. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The fruit was sourced from the flagship Fareham Lane Vineyard. The parcels selected were a combination of our Clone 10/5, 667 & 777. These were hand harvested and then gently processed. The individual batches that make up this wine were treated traditionally, allowing the natural fruit concentration and ripe tannin structure to shine. After 10 months of maturation in 100% French oak barriques: 35% new, 30% 1-year-old with the balance 2-year-old. Only selected barrels were chosen for this gorgeously divine and complex blend.

Misty Cove’s Landmark Pinot Noir is deeply influenced by old world winemaking techniques. Lovingly handcrafted in small batch quantities, winemakers crafted this wine to reflect the “Landmark” the attributes and characteristics of the Fareham Lane vineyard from which it originated.
