2022 Misty Cove Landmark Sauvignon Blanc

Misty Cove is the relatively young wine company of winemaker Andrew Bailey and his Dutch wife Marieke. The grapes come from the best vineyards of Marlborough and Central Otago, which Andrew partly owns. Misty Cove makes pure and above all characteristic wines that have already distinguished themselves at a large number of competitions. The company has a great affinity with sustainability. Because Andrew is regularly in our country through his Dutch wife, his wines are now well known in restaurants and wine specialty shops such as Grand Cru wines.

A beauty of a Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand. This Landmark Marlborough Sauvy is actually a Sur Lie made wine where a finished wine is left on the lees during fermentation to extract all those yummy complex flavours. The color is sparkling and light. The fragrance is expressive with lime zest, lemon juice, fresh herbs, but also exotic fruits such as pineapple and passion fruit. For a Sauvignon it is quite powerful and concentrated. Distinctive. Due to the fine, soft acids, there is an optimal balance. The length is endless. Sauvignon is really such a terrace and drink wine. However, this Landmark from Misty Cove has quite a bit of power and is therefore also delicious with all kinds of dishes: shrimp, mussels, fish, asparagus, chicken, salads and lighter cheeses.

"Classically styled and expressed showing mango, citrus peel, feijoa and kiwifruit characters on the nose, followed by a powerfully flavoursome palate offering terrific fruit intensity and vibrancy. Mouth-watering and highly enjoyable"
