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: Clear and pale gold in colour with hints of lime. Nose: On the nose, this wine shows exceptional balance, perfectly showcasing the terroir of the grapes. Fresh tropical aromas of guava and cantaloupe are perfectly complimented by subtle hints of blueberries and refreshing citrus. Palate: Tropical flavours of quava and kiwi fruit are complimented and balanced with a sweet hint of wild berries and melon. A fresh citrus hint goes hand in hand with this wine's crisp acidity and long lingering finish.
Food Pairing
The Mischa Sauvignon Blanc drinks exceptionally well on warm summer days with friends and family on its own but pairs beautifully with light cheeses and fruit salads. Freshly cooked fish and crayfish are this wines bread and butter.
