Misty Cove Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Dry, Lime, Melon

"Fabulously fruited and inviting, the wine shows feijoa, green rockmelon, fig and lime peel aromas on the nose, followed by a brilliantly expressed palate that’s juicy and flavoursome. Upfront and vibrant, offering excellent drinking. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Pungent, fruity, varietal and enticing bouquet, there’s no mistaking the variety with its tropical fruits and citrus pull, some fresh herbs and river stone quality. The palate reflects these ideas wrapped in acidity and a gentle saline quality. Well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Fresh and vibrant, our Sauvignon Blanc greets the senses with lively notes of citrus zest and freshly cut grass intertwined with delicate hints of tropical fruit. The palate dances with crisp acidity and flavours of passionfruit, guava, and a touch of lemongrass, culminating in a clean, refreshing finish that lingers with every sip.

Misty Cove’s Estate Sauvignon Blanc embodies the distinctive sub-regional characteristics of Marlborough. Meticulously crafted from grapes grown in our vineyards nestled within the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys, this wine captures the essence of Marlborough’s unparalleled terroir.

The fruit was carefully harvested in the cool of the morning to preserve its delicate flavours and natural acidity. After harvest, the grapes were gently pressed, and the juice was transferred into stainless steel tanks for cool fermentation, retaining the fruit’s vibrant aromas and fresh character. The wine was then fined and filtered to ensure clarity and stability before being bottled.

Food Pairing: This wine pairs beautifully with fresh seafood like grilled shrimp or oysters, highlighting its citrus and mineral notes. It also complements tangy goat cheese salads, asparagus risotto, and lighter dishes such as summer salads, lemon-roasted chicken, and spicy Thai cuisine. It enhances these flavours with its versatile character, making it a perfect companion for good times.
