Producer: Miles Mossop was always destined to pursue a career in wine. His father, Tony Mossop, was an authority on South African wine and when Miles graduated top of his class at Stellenbosch University it was obvious that he was going to excel. After working at Thelema and Spice Route in South Africa he journeying further afield to Australia (Knappstein) and California (Far Niente) before returning to his South Africa to become winemaker at the fledgling Tokara winery in 2000. The reputation of Tokara wines, and the many awards he has won for them, is a testament to his success there. He has also won awards and plaudits for the wines he makes under his own steam, and in particular the cuvées named after his three children and are handcrafted wines made in very small quantities and they not only reflect Miles’ skill as a winemaker but his ability to make wines of power and intensity but without losing the essentials of elegance and harmony that are required for a wine to be exceptional.
