Miles Mossop Max 2019

R518.00

Region: Western Cape

Tasting note:

There is an intense deep dark garnet colour to this wine. Abundant aromas of ripe black berry fruits emanate from the glass. There are hints of dried herbs, tobacco spice and cedar in the backround. The palate is generous with flavours of ripe blackcurrant and dark black berry notes. The tannins are firm with a grippy yet fine tannin stucture. The mid-palate is rich and and full bodied leading to lingering finish of dried Italian herbs, cedar and tobacco leaf.

“50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 16% Petit Verdot and 11% Cabernet Franc, all grapes from Stellenbosch. Matured for 20 months in 225-litre barrels, 38% new. Pretty aromatics with top notes of violets and herbs before cassis, a hint of earth and pencil shavings. Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, this makes for elegant drinking. Still tightly wound, it should mature with benefit. Alc: 14%.” – CE 95/100

After nearly two decades at Tokara’s helm, Miles Mossop had the time to fine-tune his own brand. Miles Mossop Wines was established in 2004 with the vision to create wines unique in character, expressing the true nature of South Africa and the sites from which the grapes are sourced. The number of wines has gown and the grape sourcing has expanded beyond home-based Stellenbosch and surrounds to incude Swartland, among others. This is a family business with Miles Mossop as winemaker and viticulturist, crafting small batches of wine, including wines that are named after Miles and Samantha Mossop’s three children.
The vineyards for this wine are selected based on the age of the vineyard and site from various parts of Stellenbosch, mostly unirrigated and all low yielding; giving a pure expression of its environment in the wine.

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 16% Petit Verdot and 11% Cabernet franc
