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: The nose is complex and filled with aromas of dried apricots, quince jelly, orange blossom, honeysuckle, orange peel and ginger spice emanating from the glass. Palate: The entry onto the palate is silky and viscous with intense rich sweet flavours of apricot, peach, and tropical fruits, layered with honey, honeycomb, marmalade, and clove spice, balanced by acidity and a gripping texture with hints of citrus zest on the finish. Thus creating a full, complex dessert wine with a rich, velvety texture.
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.
