Tasting Notes Misty Cove Limited Release 1203 Pinot Noir
Upon pouring, the deep, ruby-red color is immediately noticeable, slightly more intense than one might expect from an average Pinot Noir. On the nose, the wine opens with an enticing bouquet of ripe black cherries, raspberries, and a subtle hint of violets.
As the wine decants, more complex notes emerge: think savory nuances of dried herbs, cedar, and a touch of smoked oak. On the palate, the texture is silky smooth yet firm, with refined tannins and a lively acidity that beautifully balances the rich fruit concentration. The finish is long, earthy, and leaves a lasting impression of dark fruit and light spices. A magnificent wine!
Wine & Food Pairing
Misty Cove Limited Release 1203 Pinot Noir pairs excellently with roasted duck breast with a cherry sauce or tender slow-cooked pork tenderloin with sage. And what about a creamy wild mushroom risotto with a drizzle of truffle oil? A fantastic combination! Also, soft, ripe cheeses like Brie de Meaux or a mild farmstead cheese. Avoid overly strong blue cheeses, as they could overpower the wine's nuances.
Additional Information
The 1203 Pinot Noir is part of Misty Cove's Limited Release series, where only the very best plots and barrels are selected to create a Pinot Noir that reflects the essence of Marlborough's terroir. The name 1203 is inspired by Mount Stokes, which rises 1203 meters above the Marlborough Sounds, symbolizing height, purity, and character.
The grapes come from the cooler sub-regions of Marlborough, where nights are cold and days are sunny. This ensures slow ripening and maximum aroma development. The wine undergoes careful aging in French oak (often a mix of new and used wood), which gives the wine its backbone and aging potential. While many Marlborough Pinot Noirs are very fruity and light, the '1203' leans more towards the complexity and depth of Burgundy, but with the sun-drenched intensity of the New World.
Misty Cove is a boutique winery started in 2008 by Andrew Bailey and his Dutch wife. They source their grapes from the best vineyards in Marlborough and Central Otago and use them to create pure and, above all, characteristic wines that have already distinguished themselves in numerous competitions. The company has a strong affinity for sustainability. Discover more wines from Misty Cove winery.
