Miha Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Region: Marlborough, New Zealand

Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Miha is a new joint venture between the partners of Southern Starz and their Malborough winery, Mount Fishtail. The style is different from their version bottled under their eponymous label with an emphasis on a crisper, drier style. They also want this wine to serve a purpose so a portion of all sales goes to whale conservancy with over $100,000 donated to the cause so far.

Unlike most Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc this one is produced exclusively from a single site planted only to French clones of the grape. This imbues the wine with higher acidity and a cleaner edge. Cold fermentation and no lees contact enhance this wine’s quality making it one of the driest, refreshing examples you will taste from Marlborough. Showing notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, kumquat and kiwi. The texture is sheer and focused making this the perfect wine to serve with shrimp scampi, yellowfin tuna rolls or spinach and paneer.
