Misty Cove 'Landmark Series' Chardonnay 2023 (Marlborough) White Wine ,750ml

Misty Cove 'Landmark Series' Chardonnay 2023 showcases founder Andrew Bailey's vision of creating exceptional wines at accessible prices. This premium white wine from Marlborough's Fareham Lane vineyard demonstrates the perfect marriage of terroir expression and Old World winemaking techniques.

The Chardonnay grapes are sustainably farmed and meticulously hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve their intrinsic quality. Following whole bunch pressing, the must ferments with indigenous yeasts in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barrels, lending complexity and depth to the finished wine.

After completing malolactic fermentation, this Chardonnay matures on its lees for six months, developing remarkable texture and subtle brioche notes that complement the wine's natural fruit character. The result is a refined and charismatic expression of Marlborough Chardonnay.

The palate offers elegant stone fruit flavors with hints of citrus and subtle oak nuances. With impressive length and complexity, this Misty Cove Landmark Chardonnay delivers extraordinary quality that has garnered appreciation from Chardonnay enthusiasts worldwide.

The vineyard's unique microclimate, influenced by the mist-shrouded cove of Marlborough Sound, creates ideal conditions for Chardonnay cultivation. This distinctive environment, where beach, pristine forest, and sea converge, imparts a special character to the wine. Andrew Bailey's background as a cricket player and wine distributor has informed his approach to winemaking, resulting in this remarkable Chardonnay that truly exemplifies his commitment to accessible excellence.
