“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 2024 Mullineux Straw Wine has a beautiful luminous golden colour. The exceptionally well-balanced acidity and attractive viscosity of this vin de paille-style wine is highlighted on the palate. Grown in the ancient granite soils of the Paardeberg, it has a very distinct flavour profile reminding one of Mebos, with an intense mouthfeel like that of silky lemon meringue pie. The extraordinarily fresh and lingering finish, culminating from the old vines of the Swartland, which also allow dappled sunlight to penetrate the canopies of the bush-vines and develop the stone fruit aromas of this wine.
Food Pairing
Best served chilled at 9 to 11 °C with savoury-lead desserts or a combination of hard cheeses.
