Product Notes

Mullineux Granite Chenin Blanc wine hails from South Africa's Swartland region, known for its old vines and mineral-rich soils. This sophisticated wine has a splendid brightness and purity, boasting alluring aromas of fresh pear, white peach, and delicate floral notes. Its palate is laden with rich, ripe fruit flavours, balanced by a vibrant acidity. Intense minerality speaks to its granite terroir, lending an intriguing complexity. Aged in French oak, it has a subtle touch of creaminess, leaving a lingering, satisfying finish. The Mullineux Granite Chenin Blanc is a sublime exemplar of the elegance and concentration of old vine Chenin Blanc.

Tasting Notes

There is a characteristic flinty edge, with lifted citrus aromatics and notes of blossom, spiced apple and green tea on the nose. The palate is vibrant, revealing mouth-watering acidity and a refreshing salinity, thanks to 2021's cooler evenings.
