Mischa Wine Information
Mischa Estate Shiraz 2003
Winemaker's comments
An intense and complex nose featuring typical pepper and smoke with rich notes of savoury and spice, hints of black olive and raspberry. The palate is very dense and complex with unfolding layers for flavour. Persistent, ripe tannins and wonderful length.
