The Waihopai Valley is one of the sunniest and driest areas of New Zealand. In true pioneering spirit of the wine-growing subregion, Misty Cove vintner, Andrew Bailey has ventured once again into innovative territory, pushing the boudaries, by producing two extraordinarily elegant white blends that stands out above the rest.

Collection includes:

1 x Misty Cove Waihopai Marlborough Pinot Gris Sauvignon Gris & Gewürztraminer 2019

awarded 94/100 points & 5 stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2019

Awarded 90/100 points & 4 stars: Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Feb 2020

"A fabulous blend of Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Gris and Gewürztraminer, the wine shows apricot, grapefruit, lychee and fragrant spice characters with a hint of Turkish Delight. It is concentrated and succulent on the palate with lovely fruit intensity together with plush mouthfeel and vibrant acidity, leading to a persistent textural finish. Wonderfully flavoursome and harmonious. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2019

"An adventurous and possibly unique blend of pinot gris, sauvignon gris and gewürztraminer. A delicately aromatic white with ripe tree fruit and subtle floral flavours. Made in an off-dry style with fresh, mouth-tingling acidity on the finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Feb 2020

Alc: 13.8%

1 x Misty Cove Waihopai Marlborough Gewürztraminer Grüner Veltliner & Riesling 2020

awarded 94/100 points & 5 stars: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

AWARDED 90/100 POINTS: NZ Wine Rater

"It’s fresh and inviting on the nose showing yellow peach, mango, fig and floral aromas. The palate is equally attractive with juicy fruit intensity and fleshy texture, leading to a lingering refreshing finish. Wonderfully harmonious and delectably expressed. A blend of Gewurztraminer, Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
