Mullineux Signature Old Vines White Blend is a sophisticated South African wine that captures the true essence of old vine grapes. Sharing a vibrant, golden hue, its bouquet presents a tantalising mix of stone fruits, citrus and delicate floral notes. On the palate, it unveils an intricate layering of crisp apple, juicy peach and a hint of honey, finely balanced by a refined acidity. The lengthy, mineral-infused finish attests to each sip's elegance and complexity. This wine is not only a testament to the finesse of South Africa's terroirs, but equally, to Mullineux's mastery in winemaking.

Tasting Notes

The cool winter preceding the 2021 harvest resulted in a slow and gradual ripening period, which contributed to the texture and complexity of this wine. The nose is floral, with aromas of peach blossom, pear and hints of white pepper. On the palate there is vibrant acidity, and concentrated aromas of ripe nectarine and yellow grapefruit.
