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: Light ruby coloured, with a deep pink rim. Nose: On the nose this exciting wine offers aromas of rooibos tea, rose petals and strawberries. Every whiff of this wine leaves the consumer wanting to delve deeper and tempts one to indulge even more in the soft caress of its bouquet. Palate: This delicate, yet bold and full bodied wine might be lighter in colour and style, but definitely not depth and character. Grippy, yet refreshing tannins mingle with the rooibos and red berry flavours finishing with an intriguing smokey finish. Don't let its appearance fool you into thinking it is not a serious wine.
Food Pairing
Even though this fresh wine can be enjoyed all on its own, it pairs beautifully with lighter meals such as sushi, fruit salads and cheese platters.
