Cape Jaffa Mesmer Eyes White and Red blend 2016
Either my eyes deceive, or this wine - made of both red and white grape varieties - clocks in at 15% alcohol!
Curious aromatics, has that musky, rose and bergamot scent I so often see (seek?) in skin contact wines.
It's lavish, thickly textured, berry driven palate. Something like macerated strawberry, and tinned peach syrup. I initially had this chilled as if a white wine (4c) and then allowed to come up to room temperature (19c) and preferred somewhere as a mid-point. At the lower temps it was rather suppressed; warmer it became a little viscous and a hint of bitterness creeping in.
