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: Deep, dark magenta with purple hues. Nose: Supple aromas of blueberries, black cherry and strawberry jam are followed by rich notes of French oak and Christmas cake. Satisfyingly rich in the glass, this wine's complex bouquet develops and entices the drinker even before they put their lips to the liquid. Palate: Full bodied, yet smooth, succulent and extremely well balanced. Flavours of blueberries and cocoa mix perfectly with the soft yet substantial tannins that run seamlessly to a long and velvety finish. Even after swallowing, the flavours grip the palate leaving the drinker wanting more and more.
Food Pairing
Mischa Malbec drinks well on it's own, but also compliments lean cuts of meat like flank, sirloin and skirt steak, chicken and other meats like lamb and pork. Pairs superbly with Italian food or richer fish such as salmon.
