Misty Cove Estate Marlborough Pinot Gris 2026

Description

Dry, Floral, Pear

"Pristine and finely scented on the nose, showing Gala apple, Asian pear, lemon peel, and white flower notes, leading to an elegantly weighted palate delivering a silky flow and bright acidity, making it refreshing and delightfully drinkable. At its best: now to 2029." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2026

Bursting with charm and character, it opens with enticing aromas of ripe peach and baked pears, accented by hints of ginger. The palate is textural and juicy, with nashi pear, grapefruit, and a hint of honeysuckle, leading to a refreshing, lingering finish.

Misty Cove’s Estate Pinot Gris is a playful creation from our vineyards nestled in our upper Wairau Valley. The stony, ancient riverbed soils work their magic, giving birth to a wine that’s as floral as it is fleshy, perfectly capturing Marlborough’s unique enviroment.

The fruit was harvested in the cool of the morning. We then pressed and cool-fermented the juice in a combination of stainless steel tanks and acacia barriques, periodically stirring its yeast lees while aging, before before being fined, filtered, and bottled.

Food Pairing: This wine pairs wonderfully with a broad range of vibrant and diverse dishes: Green Thai curry, fragrant lemongrass chicken, fresh sushi rolls, spicy Korean barbecue or sticky bbq ribs, are all great matches. It’s your go-to for a laid-back, outdoor summer feast, no fuss needed.
