Misty Cove’s Landmark Sauvignon Blanc 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 Fareham Lane vineyard from which it originated.

Silex is a French term and type of sedimentary soil that is rich with flint and gives a “gunflint” character to the wine – a smokey note that the French call “pierre à fusil” and achieved with the Landmark Sauvignon Blanc by crop limitation in the vineyard, terroir, and winemaking techniques.

Lees ageing (6 months) prior to bottling has further developed mid- palate weight adding weighed complexity, minerality and slightly herbal notes.
