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
Colour: The wine displays a rich golden hue. Nose: Intense aromas of dried apricots, quince jelly, arrange blossom and ginger spice emanate from the glass. Palate: The entry onto the palate is intense mirroring the characters on the nose, the mid-palate is full and rich with a creamy texture. This all leads to a finish which is surprisingly fresh and intensely spicey. The wine has a perfect balanced between acidity, alcohol and sugar.
Food Pairing
Fresh pan seared Foie Gras or Duck liver pâté served on Crostini and a herb salad; or served with a dessert of crepes and a citrus syrup; or ripe hard cheese and nuts
