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: Delightfully clear and bright, with a predominant golden hue. Nose: 2022 Marks only the second time that an unwooded style of Roussanne was made on Mischa Estate. Rich and fresh aromas of honey, pear and yellow peach can be picked up and is a testament to the choice of an unwooded wine. As the wine develops in the glass, subtle biscuity, secondary aromas show themselves. Palate: The palate of the 2022 Roussanne shows off withe a fresh and zesty acidity, as citrus flavours play with the senses. Orange peel and lemon zest are at the forefront, while the more delicate honeybush rounds out the palate. As a natural characteristic of Roussanne, a subtle smoothness and oaky undertone balances the acidity for truly complex experience.
Food Pairing
This wine is great for lounging at the pool on warm, summer days and pairs beautifully with seafood dished like spicy paella and creamy baked fish. Cheese platters with rich confident cheeses will bring out a whole new dynamic to this wine.
