Seriously good SauvyB for the money!
Misty Cove Kekerengu Sauvignon Blanc
2021, Marlborough New Zealand
95/100, Top Rank & Top Value (Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review), 95/100 (Sam Kim)
"A vibrant, edgy wine" (Bob Campbell MW)
Limited edition release
Using hand picked fruit, hand crafted from the Kekerengu sub region of Marlborough
We call him Mr Misty Cove but his real name’s Andrew. The Misty Cove label is the hard graft of southern man Andrew and his whanau who cover every base in their boutique wine business. From the wine making and vineyard work, to sales and marketing. A true 100% family owned and operated Kiwi wine business if we ever saw one!
Andrew’s not interested in bourgeois BS when it comes to wine making. “Good wine for good times” as he puts it.
Kekerengu is one of their latest releases, using fruit from their most southern Marlborough vineyard in Kekerengu , and it not only looks the ‘biz, it tastes the ‘biz too. In a word, this is the shiz!
95/100, Top Rank & Top Value (Bob Campbell MW)
“The coastal district of Kekerengu boasts limestone-laced soils which have given this wine a saline, oyster-shell character together with lime, gooseberry and passionfruit flavours. A vibrant, edgy wine—a perfect match with freshly-shucked oysters garnished with a squeeze of lime.”
