Mischa Wine Information
Mischa Estate Shiraz 2007
Winemaker's comments
Appearance: Inky ruby and opaque almost black in the center. Youthful and bright with a purple rim.
Nose: Just a little closed but with hidden power and showing blackcurrant and blackberry fruit and a hint of white pepper and spice.
Palate: Velvety spiced plum and berry fruit balance perfectly with the oak and ripe dry tannins. Excellent balance and structure with a long savory finish.
Comments: Tasted at the beginning of June 2008. Youthful yet sophisticated flavours that will develop over the next three years to turn this luscious wine into an even more elegant one.
Food Recommendations:
Drink with a Beef Wellington or on its own with appreciative company.
