Additional Information

For the Wild Daisy Pinot Noir, Misty Cove deliberately opts for a fruit-forward, modern vinification style. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and then fermented with a focus on preserving primary aromas and freshness. The wine matures without oak aging, so that the pure Pinot Noir fruit remains entirely central. The wine is then bottled young to maintain its vibrant, fresh, and juicy character.

Misty Cove is a boutique winery started by Andrew Bailey and his Dutch wife in 2008. They source their fruit from the best vineyards in Marlborough and Central Otago, creating pure and distinctive wines that have already distinguished themselves in numerous competitions.
