Misty Cove is a bold and innovative Marlborough winery built on the desire to rethink what winemaking can be. Founded in 2008, the brand first flourished in Europe before returning to New Zealand, where it evolved into its distinctive, boundary‑pushing identity. Misty Cove blends centuries‑old winemaking wisdom with New Zealand’s pioneering spirit, experimenting with unconventional varieties, unique blends, and creative techniques. With roots in the Marlborough Sounds and vineyards positioned across key regions of New Zealand, the winery crafts expressive wines enjoyed worldwide — wines defined by character, craftsmanship, and a playful, nonconformist soul

The Landmark Series pays homage to classic winemaking traditions, elevated with Misty Cove’s distinctive edge. Crafted in small batches, each wine captures the true essence of its vineyard origin. Precision defines this collection — it’s about the meticulous, behind‑the‑scenes craftsmanship that makes each bottle exceptional and unmistakably Misty Cove.

Winemaking

Hand-picked at peak ripeness, cool-fermented, and aged on lees for three months.

Tasting notes

Floral, zesty, and just a little bit flirty. Expect spring blossoms, lime zest, juicy stone fruit, quince, and a gentle mineral edge. The palate balances bright acidity with a touch of sweetness, finishing crisp, clean, and refreshingly moreish.

Food pairing

Pad Thai, sushi, or schnitzel are easy wins; duck à l’orange adds a touch of elegance, while simple pleasures like goat cheese, honey, and figs pair beautifully too.
