Description

Apple, Dry, Strawberry

"Fresh and inviting, the bouquet shows passionfruit, feijoa, and lime zest aromas with a hint of sweet strawberry. The palate is intensely flavoursome with excellent vibrancy and juicy acidity, finishing long and exuberant. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2025

Utterly irresistible and playfully aromatic, this blush Sauvignon Blanc teases the nose with a blend of passionfruit, green apple, lemon, and hints of strawberries. On the palate, it’s a lively little number, with a zippy acidity and just a hint of sweetness, finishing light and refreshing, perfect for rooftop parties, solo dances, or relaxing with great food.

Misty Cove’s Estate Blush Sauvignon Blanc is a whimsical creation from our vineyards nestled in the upper Wairau Valley. The stony, ancient riverbed soils work their magic, giving birth to a wine that is both fun and fresh, perfectly capturing the unique essence of Marlborough’s environment.

This wine is a delightful blend of Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. All fruit was carefully harvested in the cool morning hours, gently pressed, and cool-fermented. Sauvignon Blanc was handled in stainless steel tanks, while Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fermented in older French oak barriques. After maturing separately, we blended these varietals to achieve a harmonious balance of fruity flavours, fresh mouthfeel, and alluring colour.

Food Pairing: Grilled shrimp will bring out the wine’s bright acidity and fruitiness, while a goat cheese salad enhances its crispness with creamy textures and tangy flavours. Its fresh, clean profile is a perfect match for sushi and sashimi. And for the ultimate snacking companion, this wine charms its way through a charcuterie board, taming rich meats and cheeses with its dry, refreshing charm.
