Misha's Vineyard The Starlet Sauvignon Blanc 2023

94/100 Cam Douglas MS

Pungent, varietal and enticing bouquet led by the classic scents of the variety with an equal measure of minerality and purity. Aromas and flavours of lemon and fresh red apple, there’s a combination of cape gooseberry and fresh green herbs, there’s a steely mineral quality as the wine develops in glass and with a light savoury quality this is a wine that shows myriad attributes simultaneously. Taut and dry with a plenty of acidity giving a salivating palate squeeze, flavours are persistent with a saline touch on the finish. An excellent example from the region. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030+.
