2022 Landmark Series

Lock up your aunties, a new Chardy has moved into town. We love oak, M Frame sunglasses, short shorts and socks pulled up to our knees. But that was the 80s, back when it was all about that big, buttery goodness. We're gonna meet you half way folks with a Chardy is that absolutely gorgeous on flavour and rounded out superbly with some real natural oak. Kinda like when Nirvana killed the hair bands, our Chardonnay is a game changer.

HOW IT GOES DOWN

Dry and finishing long with a hint of toasty oak this well balanced and attractive wine combines the best of ripe Marlborough fruit with complexity and weight from a barrel. Golden and brilliant in the glass, this wine is full bodied and softly textural with good weight from ripe fruit balanced by judicious use of toasty oak.

Expert Opinion

"It’s elegantly complex on the nose showing apricot, lemon peel, oatmeal, nougat and roasted cashew characters, leading to a gorgeously rounded palate offering refined mouthfeel and bright acidity, finishing persistent and focused. Beautifully layered with delectable flavours and textures. At its best: now to 2028."

"Misty Cove has rapidly established themselves as a force in the Marlborough winemaking scene, winning the hearts of wine lovers with their charismatic, tasty wines. This is brimming with ripe stone fruit, vanilla, cedar and brioche notes with excellent depth and persistency, capable of matching roast chicken, seafood risotto and hot-smoked salmon with crème fraiche. Packed with ripe stone fruit flavours, a food-friendly winner."

"Gorgeously fruited and wonderfully complex, the bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, vanillin oak and oatmeal characters. The palate displays excellent weight and persistency, combined with succulent fruit flavours and seductive oak infusion, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2025."

"Rich, mouth-filling chardonnay with white peach, nectarine, and savoury, smoky, nutty flavours. An intense, age-worthy wine with a deliciously creamy texture and lingering finish."

Winemaking

A cooler ripening period resulted in a wine that shows expressive aromatics, great concentration, and fresh lively acidity with a precise structure on the palate.

The wine was aged for 8 months in 25% new French barrique and 75% older barrels. The buttery profile has been purposely minimised through selective malolactic fermentation to help deliver an elegantly textured Chardonnay, with beautiful balance and a long pure finish.

Produced from a blend of clones 95 & Mendoza the aromas of white peach, melon and nectarine shine brightly to deliver a moreish wine worthy of any setting.
