2024 Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Awarded Champion Sauvignon Blanc at The Aotearoa Regional Wine Competition!
Misty Cove’s Estate Sauvignon Blanc embodies the distinctive sub-regional characteristics of Marlborough. Meticulously crafted from grapes grown in our vineyards nestled within the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys, this wine captures the essence of Marlborough’s unparalleled terroir.
Fresh and vibrant, our Sauvignon Blanc greets the senses with lively notes of citrus zest and freshly cut grass intertwined with delicate hints of tropical fruit.

Perfect pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with fresh seafood like grilled shrimp or oysters, highlighting its citrus and mineral notes. It also complements tangy goat cheese salads, asparagus risotto, and lighter dishes such as summer salads, lemon-roasted chicken, and spicy Thai cuisine. It enhances these flavours with its versatile character, making it a perfect companion for good times.
Winemaking
The fruit was carefully harvested in the cool of the morning to preserve its delicate flavours and natural acidity. After harvest, the grapes were gently pressed, and the juice was transferred into stainless steel tanks for cool fermentation, retaining the fruit’s vibrant aromas and fresh character. The wine was then fined and filtered to ensure clarity and stability before being bottled.

"Fabulously fruited and inviting, the wine shows feijoa, green rockmelon, fig and lime peel aromas on the nose, followed by a brilliantly expressed palate that's juicy and flavoursome. Upfront and vibrant, offering excellent drinking."

"Menthol grassiness with pea pod and petrichor, wet slate aromas. Good concentration on the palate. Lots of ripe passionfruit, gooseberry, lime and mango with a grassy, herbaceous character. Ultimately, marmite style, as the structure is very good and the concentration is too."

"This has an aromatic, refreshing nose with notes of gooseberries, lime, crushed herbs and citrus leaf. Smooth, polished and chalky on the palate with a medium body and mouthwatering acidity. Drink now."

"Gorgeously aromatic and enticing with passionfruit, kiwifruit, apricot and feijoa notes, it’s concentrated and lively in the mouth delivering terrific fruit purity and power. Delectably appealing and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2025."
