Miles Mossop 'Kika' Noble Late Harvest Chenin Blanc, 2020 HALF BOTTLE

Miles Mossop Kika is a sweet wine made from 100% Chenin Blanc. The grapes are all Noble Late Harvest which means they have all been effected by noble rot. These luscious grapes are the best for making opulent, complex sweet wines. The wine is intense with notes of quince jelly, dried apricots and fresh peach. It has a beautiful floral aroma of honeysuckle and orange blossom. The flavours on the palate are concentrated and intense on entry leading to a silky mid-palate and an almost dry finish which is not clawing but almost refreshing. Brilliant with hard cheese.

Miles has been making his own wine since 2004 and until 2018 also held down the position of head winemaker at Tokara. In the past few years he has expanded both his production and range and now makes his wine at two different locations. Miles has a very simple approach and believes in sourcing the best grapes from the best vineyards, picking them at the right time and then guiding them through the natural process in order to produce the most expressive wines possible. Production is limited to 80 tons and focuses on Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. These are truly handcrafted and wonderful wines.
