Misty Cove Marlborough Organic Sauvignon Blanc
We didn't need to dance naked around the moon to create this one. Yeah, nah. Organic wine is no longer for cult leaders and hippies. Our awesome organic program is all about creating bloody fantastic wines while being kinder to our beautiful environment. Certified Organic with BioGro, we believe that this could be the future of winemaking folks.
HOW IT GOES DOWN
Our Organic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc delivers beautiful flavours and great mouthfeel with lasting mineral tones. Bright citrus notes of lemon, lime and mandarin are abundant on the nose, these notes accompany well with freshly cut grass and slight flint. The palate is elegant and refined, with delicate acidity that is balanced by a gorgeous natural sweetness.

2020 Vintage
"Offering terrific fruit purity and power, the wine shows Gala apple, feijoa, kaffir lime and lemon peel aromas on the nose. It’s concentrated and brilliantly focused with fine texture and zesty acidity, finishing impressively long and linear. At its best: now to 2023."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Winemaking
Misty Cove’s Organic Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of Marlborough’s purity. Lovingly handcrafted and produced from our Hammond Road vineyard in the Wairau Valley, this BioGro Certified Organic wine captures Marlborough’s unique combination of soils and climatic conditions to produce a lush, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc.
雲霧海灣酒莊 Misty Cove
來自紐西蘭 Marlborough 產區的高分王酒莊，榮獲無數金牌和高分，但莊主 Andrew Bailey 完全不在意分數和評鑑，認為葡萄酒的本質就是風土特色最純淨的表現型態，而葡萄酒也應該是拉近人與人關係的美好飲品。
Misty Cove 直譯「雲霧海灣」，取自南島 Te Koko-o-Kupe 海灣， 英國 Cook 船長在 1770 年來到此處，將此海灣命名為Cloudy Bay。
霧灣酒莊出產了多個系列葡萄酒，包括莊園系列（Estate Range）、簽名系列（Signature Range）和圖標系列（Icon Range）。其中莊園系列葡萄酒包括了長相思（Sauvignon Blanc）、灰皮諾（Pinot Gris）和黑皮諾（Pinot Noir）3種類型。單一葡萄園著名的簽名系列包括霞多麗（Chardonnay）、長相思和黑皮諾等，而圖標系列則是產量極低的系列葡萄酒。首次出產的圖標系列葡萄酒採用100%的橡木桶進行發酵並熟成。
此系列的長相思葡萄酒以安德魯及其妻子瑪麗（Marieke）第一個女兒艾拉·瑪麗亞（Ella Maria）的名字命名。第五次發布的圖標系列黑皮諾葡萄酒則主要是為了慶祝酒莊葡萄酒生產五週年。第五次發布的圖標系列葡萄酒命名結合了5年的葡萄酒生產和安德魯作為專業板球運動員的背景。現
在，酒莊的葡萄酒已經遍及全球21個國家。酒莊為已取得的輝煌成績而驕傲，如出產的Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013曾在2014年中國葡萄酒與烈酒具性價比大獎賽（China Wine & Spirits Best Value Awards 2014）上榮獲金牌獎，在2013年國際葡萄酒與烈酒比賽（ International Wine and Spirit Competition 2013）上獲得銅牌獎。未來，酒莊將一如既往地不斷提升葡萄酒品質、品牌及服務。
You can talk about wine, but wine is better to be talked around - in the company of good friends, family and perhaps the odd stranger. That's why we say: "Wine for good times," because we believe that Misty Cove Wines is more than a product - it is a story. And the best place to tell great stories is around great wine. Thankfully, we are bloody phenomenal at giving you both.
The Bones
His name is Tim May - but we call him 'the money', the 'lizard', the 'bones' of the business.. the fella who pays the big mofo bills. You cannot mess with the best when it comes to smashing some serious cheddar across a spreadsheet. If it weren't for this fella, we'd probably have to give up our Gucci flip flops, Louis Vuitton Luxury Trunks and Summer's in Ibiza. Thanks Tim.
The Hustle
Fellow cricketer, Mister Jarrod "Jazz" Englefield has been a big part of the Misty Cove journey ever since he lost a bet to Andrew at a bar in Amsterdam. Ten or so years later, you'll no doubt find Jarrod wondering how he got hustled into selling wine for a living. Turns out, he has a gift. Mister Englefield is one of the greatest hustlers that the gods of wine ever created.
The Makers
Our sublimely talented team of winemakers - Nicky Parish and Emmanuel "Manu" Bolliger are the real deal. Nicky hails from Auckland via North Canterbury, and Emmanuel from South Africa via France. Safe to say, they walk the talk. And when they do walk into a pub - the music stops, heads bow, and the crowd parts like the Red Sea. True rockstars!
The Founder
"For me my favourite aspect of wine is sitting down with friends and enjoying a glass and a bit of a laugh. Having a great meal together and sharing stories. That's what wine's all about - it brings people together." - Andrew Bailey, Founder of Misty Cove.
The story of the Misty Cove brand started with one hard case South Islander. Back in 2008 Andrew Bailey set about crafting a wine company that produced incredible wines free from the tyranny of snobbery. From the beginning – from the wine making and vineyard work, to sales and marketing – Andrew set the foundation for a modern legacy of NZ winemaking that lives on today.
