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: Intense aromas of blackberry and blueberries transports the consumer straight into a berry orchard. The inky colour translates beautifully into the expression of dark fruit. Subtle notes of oak and cocoa does wonders for the complexity of this wine. This wine has the drinker hooked long before the first sip is even taken. Palate: This is a full bodied wine that is silky smooth, yet has ripe and grippy tannins that develop seamlessly with flavours of dark, wild berries and finishes with a hint of French oak. The long and satisfying finish is full of blueberry, oak spice and cocoa.
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 and with richer fish such as salmon.
