Mullineux Old Vine White

Mullineux Old Vine White

$42.99

This delicious white wine from Swartland's Mullineux family is built around a core of old vine Chenin Blanc blended with smaller amounts of Clairett Blanche, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Semillon, and Verdelho. The grapes are fermented in oak casks and aged for just under a year in new and used French oak barrels.

Try pairing with fried chicken, pad Thai, grilled seafood, or gnocchi in either a tomato or cream-based sauce.

From the Producer

"The Swartland is blessed with an abundance of old vine Chenin and we use this as the backbone of our white blend. We then add several small parcels of Mediterranean varieties for complexity, balance and aromatic lift. The grapes come from vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland:  the stony Shale and Schist based soils of the Kasteelberg,  the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg and the rolling, iron-rich hills west of Malmesbury."

Producer Tasting Note

"Pale straw in colour, this wine has a nose of ripe, green citrus fruit and Christmas spices. The palate is fresh and richly textured, with notes of ripe pears, almonds and peaches, and a clove-like finish. Best served at about 12 ˚C, this wine will show optimally when decanted in the first 3 years after bottling."

JancisRobinson.com Tasting Note (2019 Vintage)

Jancis Robinson - 17.5/20 - "Intense honey and beeswax on the nose. This is such a classic wine that has never disappointed but you can taste the extra concentration in this vintage. An untutored palate might assume wrongly that this wine has some sweetness because it's so rich. Satin texture and waves of flavour including green leaves and Cape gooseberries. Long, subtle and thoroughly admirable."

RobertParker.com Tasting Note (2018 Vintage)

Anthony Mueller - 90 Points - "The nose of the 2018 Old Vine White is elegant, with floral and mineral tones and a citrus core. The wine is delicate on the palate, with citrus, spice and tree blossom notes, demonstrating its power and elegance. The finish is clean and fresh with a mineral-citrus core that fades to a floral edge showing that this wine will age beautifully."
