Migliarina Chardonnay 2018
'The 2018 Chardonnay is light yellow with a tinge of green. There is a touch of vanilla with lime and pistachio on the nose. The wine has a hint of oak and fresh acidity with a long lingering finish. 100% natural ferment in barrel
(only 10% new oak), no filtration, fining or cold stabilization.' – Carsten Migliarina
Migliarina Chenin Blanc 2019
'The 2019 explodes with primary fruit, white pear, orchard blossom; fragrant and clean. There is a hint of creamy, almost porcelain-like smells linking with notes of almond paste and suggesting an alluring richness to follow. This
richness stays composed with a mineral line balancing the textural mouthfeel, ending with a surprising length and salty lick. There is a nice creamy weight to the wine cleaned out by a pithy satisfying bitter bite at the end. There is
so much character here, delicious and moreish.' – James Pietersen (April 2020)
Migliarina Equilibrium 2019
'The colour is a rich yellow with a tinge of green on the rim. There are quince, floral and tangerine flavours on the nose. The wine has intense fruit flavours with a rich mouthfeel.' – Carsten Migliarina

Migliarina Grenache 2017
'100% Varietal Grenache, single vineyard aged 7 months in shaven oak, untoasted. Inoculated, whole berry, destemmed, cold fermented (max 13 to 20 deg) taking 3 weeks to finish fermentation. Incredibly pretty wine with fragrant
raspberry, strawberry, red cherry perfume notes with an almost Cinsault-like Turkish delight, marzipan, parma violets and blood orange lift. Carsten’s mantra is not to 'spoil' the wine with too much savoury sappy spice and oak, hence
no whole bunch and the obsessive focus on purity, precision and perfume. The saline, cassis, oyster shell notes are incredible. A profound expression.' – Greg Sherwood MW, 93/100
Migliarina Parquet 2016
'84% Syrah, 7% Carignan, 9% Grenache. Syrah 8 to 10 weeks on skins, 2017 Grenache blended in. One barrel of Swartland Carignan 2016. Beautiful dark, alluring wine with sweet black pepper corns, savoury cured meats, black berry spice,
black olive and black plum style that eventually meanders back to brightness and purity with the use of the 2017 Grenache addition. Another crystalline style, total focus and purity, with component parts beautifully pieced together.
So cool, pure and fresh, with great precision that is a manifestation of Carstens own personality. Lovely wine.' – Greg Sherwood MW, 93+/100
Migliarina Syrah 2017
'Single vineyard Syrah from Stellenbosch, tight tannins, red berries, iodine and lavender. Very northern Rhone (St Joseph) style Syrah. Would decant, still a bit young but stunning fruit.' – Carsten Migliarina
