Mischa Wine Information

Mischa Estate Shiraz 2002

Winemaker's comments

A stunning wine showing intense Shiraz smoke and pepper on the nose highlighted by beautiful hints of cherry and red currant underscored by a dense base of tar and leather. The pallet is densely fruited with excellent structure and length. Oaked for twelve months in selected tight grain French oak giving this wine excellent ageing potential which should start reaching its potential from five years and developing well past 12 years.
