Pairing
A showcase of the more delicate side of orange wine, the Mielie Orange is an excellent, rare, aperitif orange, but will do well beside lightly-seasoned proteins like a schnitzel or katsu fillet, roasted chicken with salt, pepper, and just a bit of cumin and red pepper, or a pan-roasted salmon filet in a creamy herb sauce.
Tasting Notes
An orange wine from one of South Africa's original orange wine vanguard, the Mielie shows a tried hand at work. Opening with notes of fresh apricot, floral tea, and a whiff of wet stone, the palate is lovely, and full-fruited, with the same fruit and florals, and a tart, lightly tannic finish.
