Misty Cove Rock Daisy Marlborough Pinot Noir 2025

Description

Floral, Raspberry, Unoaked

"Sweetly fruited and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows ripe cherry, strawberry, subtle spice, and floral aromas. The palate is silky-smooth and beautifully rounded, well-supported by a supple texture and elegant tannins, finishing with a lingering and delightfully appealing aftertaste. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2025

"Totally ruby core and rim leads to a bouquet and palate of fresh red cherries and strawberry compote. There’s no oak so this wine is all about fleshy fruity flavours with a backbone of acidity and chalky fruit tannin textures. Well made, still very youthful and with lots of crunch. Best from early 2026 through 2029+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

All about the fruit. Juicy raspberry, cherry, and a dash of wild herbs — think thyme and a hint of lavender. It’s soft, silky, and refreshingly smooth — with no oak and no pretension. Just pure, honest Pinot that goes down a little too easy. Serve it chilled and thank us later (10-12c).

Named after the wild native flower clinging to the cliffs of the Marlborough Sounds, Rock Daisy is Pinot Noir with a twist. Light, bright, and juicy — this is a red made for sunshine, good mates, and chill vibes. Literally.

Crafted in a Nouveau style, Rock Daisy is made to be fresh, fun, and totally smashable. Sourced from Pinot Noir clones 667 and 777, known for their vibrant fruit and fine tannin structure — perfect for this chillable, fruit-driven style. Fermented with a blend of yeasts to lift aromatics and add natural texture. No oak, no overthinking — just bottled early to lock in all that bright, juicy goodness.

Food Pairing: BBQs, beach days, and balcony beers (with wine). Grilled salmon, duck tacos, or anything spicy. Long lunches, short evenings, and spontaneous good times.
