On the palate, it delivers a harmonious blend of creamy texture and lively acidity, showcasing layers of juicy mandarin, ripe apricot, and a hint of salinity, leading to a refreshing finish that is both crisp and elegantly mineral-driven—a true reflection of Gisborne’s coastal terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Landmark Series is a nod to classic winemaking traditions -sprinkled with Misty’s distinctive edge. Handcrafted in small batches from the oldest planted Albariño vines in New Zealand, this wine captures the very essence of the land it hails from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation occurred in 60% stainless steel, 20% new, and 20% older acacia puncheons. Special yeast enhanced the wine’s texture and highlighted its floral and varietal character. It aged on lees for four months to add depth and complexity—a touch of residual sugar balances the naturally high acidity, resulting in a beautifully harmonious wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood Pairing: A classic ceviche or grilled octopus highlights the wine’s vibrant citrus notes, while a vegetable paella brings out its subtle floral undertones. For a more robust pairing, a rosemary and garlic-marinated lamb chop complements the wine’s nuanced minerality. Even a simple plate of burrata with heirloom tomatoes and basil will find a perfect partner in this expressive Albariño.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MistyCove","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49488609771837,"sku":"MCW24ALBLMGNZ6","price":137.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/9211\/5773\/files\/24999-1.jpg?v=1729034494","url":"https:\/\/www.blackmarket.co.nz\/products\/misty-cove-landmark-gisborne-albarino-2024","provider":"Black Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
