Misha’s Vineyard launches wines with Four Seasons Langkawi

Misha’s Vineyard has launched two wines for the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi as part of a special collaboration.

The Central Otago winery has been supplying wines to the Malaysian hotel since 2014 through its Langkawi-based distributor, but these two new exclusive bottlings – a Pinot Noir and a Sauvignon Blanc – feature a specially designed label blending key elements from the vineyard and the resort.

“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 spearheaded the project after touring Misha’s Vineyard estate last year.

The hotel was keen to retain the key elements of the Misha’s Vineyard brand on the specially crafted wine label, 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 represented by a grape vine with 8 bunches of gold. A graphic of the resort’s signature traditional Malaysian setting is blended under this vine along with the Four Seasons Resort Langkawi logo.

Misha Wilkinson says they’re delighted to build further on their special relationship with the resort. “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 ten 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.
