Mullineux Old Vine White
$42.99
Region:South Africa > Swartland
Vintage:2020
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."
