Angus Paul Mesas Muscat Orange blend

Region
This famous region is 30 miles north east of Cape Town yet still close enough to the
ocean to benefit from cool maritime conditions. These beautiful vineyards are
dominated by scenic mountains and the region is home to some of the Cape`s most
famous and influential wine estates. The most noted and important vineyards are
located on the prized slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. This small and highly rated
sub-zone has fantastic terroir and is where many of South Africa`s top red cuvees
are produced.
Producer
Angus Paul had their first vintage in 2020, creating wines with a focus on South
African Heritage, using Chenin, Muscat and Pinotage soon expanding with Cinsault.
The wines are made with minimal intervention to make quality wines that truly
express the varieties characteristics. The labels are inspired by the ‘Age of
exploration’ when the South African wine industry was founded, with graphics of
superstitious tales from exploratory sailors.
Tasting Notes
This delightful orange wine is made of mostly Muscat with a touch of Semillon. It
makes for a beautifully fresh and bright wine with bold notes of apricot, candied
lemon and a touch of sea salt and nuts for that lovely fresh bite. The 10 days on
skins gives a chewy wine gum notes with fine tannin to coat the palate and an
oxidative nutty finish. Fresh and complex, making a fantastic gastronomic wine.
Food
Pairs well with Oysters and traditional Japanese cuisine
