Miles Mossop Wines Saskia-Jo 2018
65% Chenin Blanc, 25% Clairette Blanche, 10% Grenache Blanc
Wine of Origin Swartland 
The three bush vine vineyards that make up this wine are all from the same part of the Paardeberg, Swartland, and growing in decomposed granite soils. The fruit was whole bunch pressed together and the juice co-fermented in a small concrete egg, where it matured for a total of 11 months before being bottled without fining or filtration. Only sulphur was added in the making of this wine giving a true expression of the vineyards and the region.
This is my expression of the region and the vineyards the grapes originate from – Saskia complete.
Tasting Notes: Stunning perfume of citrus blossom, underpinned by stone fruit and orange preserve notes. The flavours are full and rich; yet the mid-palate is focused and clean leading to a dry textured finish.
Drink now, but will improve with maturation for a further 8 years.
