Misty Cove Landmark Marlborough Pinot Noir 2018

Description

"It is attractively fruited and inviting on the nose showing dark cherry, plum, mixed spice, almond and mushroom notes, leading to a succulent palate that is flavoursome and silky. The wine offers sweet berry flavours and supple mouthfeel together with spicy nuances, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2019

Misty Cove’s Landmark Pinot Noir is deeply influenced by old world winemaking techniques. Lovingly handcrafted in small batch quantities, this wine is crafted to reflect the "Landmark" – the attributes and characteristics of the Fareham Lane vineyard from which it originated.

The fruit was sourced from our flagship Fareham Lane Vineyard. The parcels selected were a combination of our Clone 10/5 & 777. These were hand harvested and then gently processed.

The individual batches that make up this wine were treated traditionally, allowing the natural fruit concentration and ripe tannin structure to shine. After 10 months of maturation in 100% French oak barriques – 40% new, 35% 1-year-old with the balance 2-year-old. Only selected barrels were chosen for this gorgeously divine and complex blend.
