"Superbly fruited and beautifully fragrant, the wine shows golden peach, honeydew melon, poached pear and floral aromas on the nose, leading to a pristine palate that’s flavoursome and lingering. It’s brightly expressed and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2020

"Appealing, fruity pinot gris with floral, honeysuckle, rose petal, pear, tree fruit and ripe apple flavours. A hint of sweetness is perfectly balanced by fresh acidity to give the wine a crisp, dry and mouth-watering finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2020

Marlborough’s famously rich soils help deliver an exciting and enticing wine that is on the dry spectrum. Balanced acidity gives a lush and soft backbone that is quite moreish to share with great mates and tasty food.

The fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning and soaked on skins for 6 hours. Fermented with the unique combination of yeast that produces mouthfeel and texture.

Misty Cove’s Estate Pinot Gris is lovingly handcrafted and produced from the upper Wairau Valley vineyard where stony old riverbed soils help create a floral and fleshy wine that truly captures Marlborough’s unique environment.
