Misha’s Vineyard 2013 White and Older Pinot Noir Releases
There’s nothing like meeting the owners of a vineyard on the land where their grapes are planted to gain an understanding of the philosophy, passion and toil of their winegrowing venture. This is certainly true of Andy and Misha Wilkinson and their Central Otago Misha’s Vineyard brand that is based on the fruit from their 26 ha of plantings on the eastern terraces overlooking Lake Dunstan on Bendigo Station. Due to Misha’s marketing prowess and enthusiasm, most wine critics and wine lovers will be aware of the label, as I have been from the very start. But I only came to properly appreciate the sinewy style of the wines and the drive of the Wilkinsons, their viticulturist Rich Williams and winemaker Olly Masters by standing on the near desolate land where their vines are slowly gaining a foothold…..
