Central Otago wine producers Misha’s Vineyard has announced the launch of two wines as part of a collaboration with the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi in Malaysia.
Misha’s Vineyard is a 57-hectare single vineyard estate located on the edge of Lake Dunstan, in Central Otago.
The estate’s location provides optimal conditions for producing Pinot Noir and aromatic whites, including Sauvignon Blanc. The two wines produced in this special collaboration with the Four Seasons Resort are a Pinot Noir and a Sauvignon Blanc.
“We’re excited to introduce these special wines as we want to over-deliver on our guests’ expectation by sourcing premium wines from the world’s most highly regarded wine regions ”said Mohzani “Mo” Mokhtar, Director of Food and Beverage at the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi, who spear-headed the project.
Mokhtar visited Misha’s Vineyard estate last year, touring the vineyard with owners Misha and Andy Wilkinson and gaining an in-depth appreciation of the care and attention that go into producing the wines.
“We loved the opportunity to showcase our sustainably-farmed vineyard and to demonstrate how well our wines age” said Misha.
“But what’s really special for us with this collaboration, is that more than a decade ago, at the request of a guest, we were asked if we could supply wines to the Resort.
“That was the start of the relationship with the Four Seasons Langkawi which has continued over the past 10 years and now we’re starting a new decade of even closer co-operation.”
Integral to the relationship between the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi and Misha’s Vineyard is S.H. Maju Sdn Bhd, Langkawi’s leading wine and spirits importer and distributor.
Owner Alfred Low, first imported Misha’s Vineyard wines in 2014 and has exclusively represented the brand in Langkawi since then.
With a specially crafted wine label, the hotel was keen to retain the key elements of the Misha’s Vineyard brand which celebrates the history of the auspicious vineyard site where Chinese immigrants panned for gold in the 1880s.
There is also a recurrence of the lucky number 8 with the vineyard’s location and orientation which is represented by a grape vine with 8 bunches of gold.
