Miles Mossop Chapter Four Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Miles Mossop released their first wines in 2004, sourcing all the fruit from exceptional vineyards across Stellenbosch. Time has broadened horizons and expanded the range, with Swartland fruit coming into the mix. This is very much the archetype of modern South African wine producers, with an emphasis on classic European styles and unique blends that are only found in South Africa.

The range is divided into three tiers. The Introduction range comprises a red and a white, bistro wines of exceptional expression and value.

This 100% Sauvignon blanc from a single 34-year-old bush vine vineyard in the Stellenbosch growing on decomposed shale soils.

This wine displays a brilliant pale straw colour. The nose burst with Intense aromas of quince, passionfruit, grapefruit and fresh herbs emanate from the glass. This is underpinned by hints of fresh brioche and vanilla. The palate is full and rich on entry with flavours of quince jelly and grapefruit with a pithy citrus texture. The mid-palate is creamy and round with notes of toasted almonds leading to a crisp dry finish and a salinity which leaves one wanting more.
