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
The IRON Chenin Blanc sees the highest natural extract of our three main Single Terroir white wines which lends to its upfront aromatics, a lower sugar-to-alcohol conversion as well as focused acidity. During December, just before harvest, these deep clay soils retain water and inhibit excess moisture uptake in the berries which in turn enhances its concentration. Notable yellow orchard summer fruits, fresh orange peel and a slight flintiness welcome one on the nose, with a multi-layered palate and slightly saline finish that round off this beautifully textural wine. Its age- ability is sure to exceed two decades, and it is thus recommended that the wine is decanted when opened young.
