Mischa Wine Information

Mischa Estate Merlot 2002

Winemaker's comments

A delicate nose of strawberry and cream, touches of cherry and chocolate with hints of cinnamon and spice. A well-fruited, crisp palate with well structured tannins that promise excellent aging potential. Matured for 12 months in selected tight grain French oak barrels. This wine should start showing it €™s potential in it €™s 6 th year and develop well past its 12 th year.
