Monis Vintage Muscadel 1992

The South African Wine Trophy Show 2002 - Trophy for Best Red Blend on Show - Non-Bordeaux style
This 1992 vintage wood matured red muscadel has an excellent topaz colour with a reddish hue, even after six years in wood. It has a very complex nose with strong muscat raisins, Christmas cake, cinnamon, marzipan and subtle citrus flavours. On the palate it has a soft, smooth opulence. Well-balanced with a delicate woodiness in the very long aftertaste that grows on you. The wine opens up more flavours with every taste.

in the cellar : This Muscadel spent 6 years in 500 litre old French oak barrels. Limited release. Very few Muscadel producers aged their wine in wood - but this was an exceptional wine.
