Miles Mossop Saskia is a truly brilliant blend of 68% Chenin Blanc, 13% Clairette Blanche, 13% Verdelho and 6% Viognier. It is an opulent white with intense notes of white peach, toasted brioche, ripe grilled pineapples and a hint of white pepper spice. There is an underlying hint of honey blossom, honey suckle and dried apricots. It is a heady complex white and a lovely food wine. The Chenin Blanc is sourced from two separate plots on granite soil in Swartland which are picked at different times so one can retain some mineral freshness and the other have some riper flavours.
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.
