Misha's Vineyard
The Starlet Sauvignon Blanc 2024 750ml

95/100 Outstanding “There’s no mistaking the sense of power and varietal pungency, pure fruit aromas of lemon, fresh thyme and gooseberry, pineapple and peach, then nettles and a fine lees and complexity. There’s also a signature of Central Otago with a savoury dried herb quality. Delicious, fresh and vibrant on the palate with a saline quality to the backbone of acidity, also highlighting a sandy mineral theme. Fruit flavours mirror the bouquet with peach and citrus then some tropical fruit highlights. An excellent example with a lengthy finish, it is also a wine that speaks of Central Otago with a Marlene Dietrich-like sophistication - a touch of piercing elegance.”
