Miles Mossop 'Kika' Noble Late Harvest Chenin Blanc 2023 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 affected 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. 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, after leaving Tokara, is solely focused on his own wines. Miles has a very simple approach which starts with sourcing the best grapes from the best vineyards and picking them at the right time. Production is limited to 80 tons and focuses on Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. These are truly handcrafted and wonderful wines which bring all the joy and instant pleasure of warmer climate wines together with the elegance and complexity of French wines.
