Miles Mossop
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.
Description
This wine displays a deep straw color with aromas of white peach, melon, grapefruit, and subtle hints of toast. On the palate, it is elegant and well-balanced, with flavors that reflect the nose. The mid-palate has a creamy richness, leading to a lingering saltiness and a crisp, dry finish.
Food Pairing
It pairs well with grilled fish, chicken dishes, and lighter fare like salads or seafood.
