Mullineux
“Wines that transport you to the Swartland.” – Andrea Mullineux Packed with layers of distinctive vibrancy, regional character, great allure and sophistication. Staying true to the Mullineux winemaking philosophy, these wines can be opened and enjoyed upon vintage release, or over two decades from the vintage.
Description
Though the 2017 growing season was dry, the Granite soils retain good moisture deep down, and the vines use this to retain a great freshness to balance the texture the wine has on the palate. The nose has aromas of yellow stone fruit and limes. The palate has a creamy texture, lifted by a zesty acidity, with subtle notes of elderflower and coriander spice, and flinty undertones. Ageing potential 10 – 20 years, this wine will show optimally if decanted when drunk within the first 3 years after bottling.
Food Pairing
Works well with spicy, sweet and sour flavours of Asian cuisine.
