Miles Mossop Max

The Miles Mossop MAX comes from the South African wine estate Miles Mossop in Stellenbosch, which is known for handcrafted, terroir-driven wines of the highest quality. Miles Mossop's philosophy is clear: grapes from exceptional vineyards are harvested at optimum ripeness and guided through the natural winemaking process to produce expressive, individual wines - wines that he himself enjoys drinking. Each vintage is an expression of the special conditions of the vineyard and tells the story of its terroir.

This top-class cuvée combines 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Petit Verdot and 6% Cabernet Franc from carefully selected, mostly unirrigated and low-yielding vineyards in Stellenbosch. The grapes are harvested by hand, cooled overnight, sorted into bunches and berries and then gently placed in small wooden and stainless steel tanks. After cold maceration, spontaneous fermentation takes place for up to 14 days, accompanied by gentle pump overs and punch downs. After fermentation, the wine matures in 225-liter French oak barrels, 22% of which are new, for 21 months with regular ageing on the lees and malolactic fermentation before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

In the glass, the MAX is a deep, dark garnet red. The nose exudes lush aromas of ripe black berries, underpinned by notes of dried herbs, cedar wood and tobacco. The palate reveals a full-bodied, rich wine with grippy, fine tannins, a powerful center and a long, complex finish with nuances of Italian herbs, cedar and tobacco leaf.

This red wine is particularly suitable with slow-cooked lamb dishes, grilled rib-eye steak with marrow, oxtail stew or strong hard cheeses. Served at 16-18 °C, it unfolds its full spectrum of aromas.

Miles Mossop MAX is a long-lived wine with ageing potential of up to 15 years from harvest and a perfect choice for special occasions or collections.

Miles Mossop Wines

Miles Mossop Wines steht für präzise, terroirgeprägte Weine aus Südafrika mit klarer Handschrift und internationalem Anspruch. Der Gründer Miles Mossop, ein erfahrener Önologe mit langjähriger Tätigkeit bei renommierten Weingütern am Kap, gründete sein eigenes Projekt mit dem Ziel, charaktervolle Weine zu erzeugen, die Herkunft und Jahrgang authentisch widerspiegeln.

Die Trauben stammen aus sorgfältig ausgewählten Lagen in Regionen wie Stellenbosch, Swartland und weiteren bedeutenden Anbaugebieten des Westkaps. Das Zusammenspiel aus mediterranem Klima, kühlen Meeresbrisen und vielfältigen Böden schafft ideale Voraussetzungen für elegante, strukturierte Weine mit Frische und Tiefe.

Im Keller verfolgt Miles Mossop einen bewusst reduzierten Ansatz: schonende Verarbeitung, gezielter Holzeinsatz und lange Reifezeiten sorgen für Balance, Komplexität und Langlebigkeit. Die Weine verbinden südafrikanische Kraft mit europäischer Finesse und genießen sowohl bei Kritikern als auch bei Weinliebhabern hohes Ansehen.

Miles Mossop Wines steht damit für modernen südafrikanischen Weinbau auf höchstem Niveau – authentisch, qualitätsorientiert und unverwechselbar im Stil.

Product recommendation

Alto Estate Blend
Der Blend aus 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Cabernet Franc, 18% Merlot und 3% Petit Verdot duftet nach roten und dunklen Früchten (Johannisbeeren), erdigen Noten sowie nach Fynbos, den für Südafrika typischen Gewächsen. Weinkritiker Greg de Bruyn beschreibt das Bouquet in Platter’s Wine Guide so: „Waldboden-Erdigkeit, jodhaltige Mineralität und saftige Cassis-Frucht, durchzogen von Tabakwürze.“Am Gaumen ist der Rotwein aus der Stellenbosch-Region trocken und vielschichtig, mit großer Konzentration und Frische. Die schöne Mineralität und die aromatische Tiefe (dunkle Beeren im Vordergrund) runden das Geschmackserlebnis ab. „Geschmeidig und rund nach 18 Monaten in größtenteils neuem Eichenholz“, urteilt auch de Bruyn. Der warme Jahrgang 2018 brachte Trauben mit sehr konzentrierten Aromen hervor. Durch den anderthalbjährigen Ausbau in Eichenholzfässern, die zu 70% neu waren, erreicht der Alto Estate Blend dann endgültig seine außergewöhnliche Qualität.Entdecken Sie den Rotwein bei einer Trinktemperatur von 16 bis 18 Grad. Er ist ein idealer Begleiter zu Pastrami aus der Rinderbrust, würzig gebratener Hähnchenbrust oder auch zu reifem Käse.

Miles Mossop Introduction Chenin Blanc
Miles Mossop The Introduction Chenin Blanc is an elegant white wine from the Coastal region of South Africa that highlights the versatility and finesse of the Chenin Blanc grape. Miles Mossop places particular emphasis on precision craftsmanship: each grape is harvested at the perfect point of ripeness and carefully guided through the natural winemaking process to create expressive, fresh and balanced wines - wines that impress with personality.For this cuvée, the grapes are harvested by hand at different times to optimally preserve both the fresh stone fruit notes and the riper yellow fruit notes of Chenin Blanc - without losing acidity or freshness. The fruit comes from old, unirrigated bush and trellis vineyards in Stellenbosch (84%) and the Swartland (16%). 80% of the wine fermented in stainless steel tanks, 18% in old French oak barrels and 2% in a concrete egg. After around three weeks of fermentation on natural yeasts, the wine matured on the lees for six months before being blended and bottled.In the glass, the Introduction Chenin Blanc has a brilliant, pale straw yellow color. The nose is complex, with aromas of white flowers, yellow peach, pineapple and citrus notes. Fresh yellow fruit opens up on the palate, complemented by grapefruit and stone fruit notes. The mid-palate is creamy, clearly structured and leads to a textured, slightly tart finish with a lively freshness.This wine is ideal on its own or as an accompaniment to light poultry and fish dishes, Mediterranean dishes or summer salads. Served at 8-10 °C, it develops its aromas to optimum effect. Suitable for early consumption, it will continue to develop over 3 to 5 years.
