Mullineux Signature Straw Wine is an exceptional South African wine, revered for its intense, luscious character. Made from sun-ripened Chenin Blanc grapes carefully dried on straw mats, it strikes a perfect balance between rich sweetness and fine acidity. It dazzles the palate with a profusion of ripe apricot, honeycomb and tangy candied orange peel notes. Its underlying minerality adds complexity, leading to a clean and well-defined finish. This straw-coloured vino has impressive longevity, becoming increasingly nuanced with age. An exquisite indulgence that pairs well with strong cheeses, desserts, or savoured alone.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, this wine is bright gold in colour with a rich, viscous quality. On the nose, it is a complex, enticing blend of dried apricots, lemon pie and orange peel. Velvety mouthfeel and luscious sweetness on the palate are balanced by mouth-watering acidity and purity of fruit.
