✨ Technical Specifications
Misty Cove's Organic Pinot Noir is crafted in the cool-climate region of Marlborough, drawing fruit from organically certified vineyards located primarily in the Southern Valleys where clay-rich soils provide strength and texture. The grapes undergo gentle handling, cold soaking to extract delicate color and aromatics, followed by wild yeast fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. This approach highlights pure red fruit nuances, fine-grained tannins, and an authentic expression of Marlborough's unique maritime-influenced terroir.
