Miles Mossop Wines Maximilian 2018
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine of Origin Stellenbosch
The grapes originated from decomposed shale soils in the Bottelary area of Stellenbosch. A bottling of only two barrels of the best Cabernet Sauvignon in the cellar. Fermented naturally in a small upright wooden fermenter. Matured in small French oak barrels, 50% new, for 22 months. Bottled without fining or filtration. A single vineyard wine expressing the true nature of its origin.
Tasting Notes: Dark, heady notes of cassis, cedar and black berry fruits. Full and structured on the palate with great intensity. Leading to a textured mid-palate of sweet berry fruits and a dry savoury finish.
Drinking beautifully now and will continue to do so for a further 5 to 10 years.
