The Misty Cove Estate is a beautiful vineyard located in the Marlborough Valley on the South Island of New Zealand. The estate gets its name from the thick, mystical fog that often covers the valley in the morning. It stands proudly in the heart of one of the best wine terroirs in the world, known for producing wines of exceptional quality. Founded in 2008 by Andrew Bailey and his wife Marieke, Misty Cove Estate is a family business dedicated to the production of superior quality wines. Their passion for winemaking is accompanied by a strong environmental ethic. They are proud to be BioGro certified, having converted their entire 60 hectares of vines to organic farming. The intention behind this approach is to produce wines that are not only remarkable in taste, but also respectful of the environment. The Marlborough climate, with its long sunny days and cool nights, gives Misty Cove Estate the opportunity to produce wines of unique aromatic intensity with balanced freshness and complexity. The variety of grape varieties, from Sauvignon Blanc to Pinot Noir, through Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, offers a wide range of exquisite wines to satisfy the most demanding palates. The most famous wine produced by Misty Cove is their Sauvignon Blanc. It is an iconic wine of the Marlborough region, with vibrant aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, and fresh herbs.
