It pairs well with grilled fish, chicken dishes, and lighter fare like salads or seafood​.

The wine is made from 100% Chenin Blanc sourced from a 50-year-old bush vine vineyard located in the Paardeberg, Swartland. The vineyard is planted on decomposed granite soils, offering a unique expression of terroir. The grapes were hand-harvested at 22.5 brix to retain acidity and express vibrant fruit.

This wine drinks beautifully on release but will reward cellaring for up to 10 years from harvest​.

After whole-bunch pressing, the juice was settled overnight before being fermented naturally in older 400-liter French oak barrels. The wine was matured on the lees for 10 months with regular stirring (battonage) to add texture and complexity. No malolactic fermentation was done to preserve its fresh, vibrant character​.

Miles Mossop Wines burst onto the scene in 2004 when the first wines were made: Max 2004 and Saskia 2004. Max is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Petit Verdot and more recently Malbec and Saskia a blend of Chenin blanc Viognier and more recently Clairette blanche. Later in 2009 a third wine was introduced the Kika 2009 a botrytised wine made in the Noble Late Harvest style from 100% Chenin blanc.
