Grown on the north-facing slopes of Bendigo in Central Otago, ‘The Starlet’ is Misha’s Vineyard’s aromatic, fruit-driven Sauvignon Blanc. The 2022 vintage was harvested in the cool of early morning to retain freshness and gently pressed. Fermented at low temperatures in stainless steel, the wine highlights pristine fruit character and regional minerality. A short time on lees adds texture and subtle weight to the crisp, clean style.
Bouquet Fragrant and lively with notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, passionfruit and fresh herbs. A touch of elderflower and lime blossom brings a floral lift.
Palate Dry and refreshing with racy acidity. Flavours of citrus, white peach and capsicum are balanced by a mineral backbone and a crisp, pure finish.
Food Pairing Perfect with goat’s cheese, oysters, Thai green curry, or summer salads. Also a great match for asparagus, grilled fish or Vietnamese-style dishes.
