Description

Dry

• Passiofruit
• Feijoa
• Lime zest

"This is wonderfully fruited and powerfully expressed, showing passionfruit, feijoa, jalapeno and lime zest aromas on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate that’s succulent and vibrant. The wine offers terrific fruit purity backed by lively acidity, finishing impressively long and appealing. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2020

Made with style and old-world winemaking technique, this-hand crafted wine provides excellent concentration with a lengthy and persistence finish.

Lees aging (6 months) prior to bottling has developed mid-palate weight adding to the wine’s intense fruit characters.

Northbank Road follows the Wairau River along the southern foothill of the Richmond Range. It is home to Misty Cove's amazing environment where schist and alluvium gravels with small deposits of clay, quartz and mica are the unique foundations for this free draining block and highly sought-after piece of terroir.
