Misha's Vineyard Starlet Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Misha's Vineyard 'The Starlet' Sauvignon Blanc 2025

• Region: Central Otago
• Sub-Region: Bendigo
• Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc

Vineyard From Misha's single Bendigo vineyard estate — a Sauvignon Blanc that strays far from typical Marlborough style, with more in common with Bordeaux. Hand-picked, mostly tank-fermented, with 27% fermented using indigenous yeasts in mostly old French oak casks.

Wine Pale golden-green, with blackcurrant, citrus, and apple aromas alongside more tropical notes of passionfruit, ginger, and chamomile. Dry, medium-bodied, with a fine balance between brisk acidity and a silky, mouth-filling texture, broadening with liquorice, crushed shell, white pepper, and jellybean notes, finishing brightly saline.
