Mischa Wines
Mischa Estate is a 3rd generation family-run farm that was bought just after the Second World War by the winemaker, Andrew Barns’, grandfather. He chose the farm because of its view of Table Mountain. The farm was named after his grandmother’s dance partner, Mikael, in the Russian ballet company, Ballet Russe. Mischa (Nickname for Mikael in Russian) soon became the 3rd largest vine nursery in the southern hemisphere. After three generations of wine grape production and grafting young vines, Andrew and his family decided to use their extensive viticultural knowledge to start producing Mischa wines. They created a boutique winery with limited production of only the highest quality, hand-made wines. Now, 17 years later, they are recognized as one of the top quality boutique wine farms in South Africa. Their wines have consistently received numerous gold or double-gold awards, top marks from both Robert Parker and John Platter and a Trophy for the Best Bordeaux Blend in South Africa from Michelangelo. Mischa now crafts wines across four ranges so there is a style and wine for everyone to enjoy!
Description
Appearance: This wine is deep ruby in color with a beautiful burgundy rim. Nose: The complexity of this wines' aroma profile is a transfixing sensation. Primarily black fruit such as black cherry and plums on the nose followed by raspberry, French oak and white pepper spice. The bouquet of this wine develops beautifully with decanting and swirling in the glass. Palate: This is a delicate, yet full bodied wine with ripe, fruity tannins that accompany the fruit and secondary flavours gracefully. Blackberry and blackcurrant are the primary fruit flavours you will experience. As the tannins softly grips the palate, soft white pepper and oak flavours develop and accompany the solid acidity right through to the long and lingering finish.
