Description

"Classic strawberries and cream aromas with hints of orange peel, nectarine and blossom on the nose. It's juicy, refreshing and lingering with excellent fruit intensity backed by bright acidity, offering fabulous drinking. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2021

"A blend of pinot noir 63%, pinot gris 34% and chardonnay 3%. Gently aromatic rosé with floral, rose petal, strawberry and raspberry flavours. A dry wine with a crisp and slightly peppery finish. Good food wine" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jan 2022

"Bright, salmon pink hue. Bright, floral, sweetly fruited nose with redcurrant and persimmon fruit with notes of mint and basil. Soft, fleshy and bright with zesty watermelon flavours but noticeable acidity and a touch of firmness on the finish" NZ Wine Rater, Mar 2022

The light colour and gorgeous summer fruits result in an elegant rebel that is crisp and dry in the finish.

Hand harvested from 3 different grape varietals to add complexity, the dry Mediterranean style consists of Pinot Noir (63%) Pinot Gris (34%) and Chardonnay (3%).

Minimum times on skins and pressed to 600 litres per ton to retain freshness and fruitiness. The grapes were co-fermented to allow better integration.

Misty Cove’s Landmark Rose is deeply influenced by old world winemaking techniques. Lovingly handcrafted in small batch quantities, we crafted this wine to reflect the “Landmark” – the attributes and characteristics of the selected single vineyards, which the grapes originated in the Waihopai and Wairau Valley.
