Miles Mossop Wines Miles Mossop Wines The Introduction Red 2020 750ml

The 2020 The Introduction Red is based around two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, the Cirsault component fermented whole bunch and other varieties de-stemmed. It has a punchy nose with black fruit, dark chocolate and light espresso scents with a touch of bell pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins, moderate depth, but plenty of freshness and salinity on the finish. Worth seeking out at this price point.<br/><br/> (Neal Martin)

Made with a 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cinsault, 11% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 The Introduction Red bursts with juicy ripe red fruits and hints of herbs on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is lively and fresh with a plushy mouthfeel before offering a balanced structure, and it ends with a soft, lingering finish. The wine aged for 16 months in used barrels. Just over 16,000 bottles were produced.
