Mullineux Granite Chenin Blanc
R900.00 incl VAT
Vineyard Notes: From a 47 year old parcel of sustainably and dry farmed bush vines planted in the decomposed Granite soils of the Paardeberg. This is our highest altitude Granite soil vineyard on the Paardeberg from which we expect our most elevated perceived freshness, flintiness and blossom-like perfume. This contributes towards linear ageing, due to the decomposed soils allowing for the deepest root formation, and therefore the fullest and coolest vineyard canopy of all our sites.
Production Notes: Natural fermentation in oak barrels then left in barrels, on its lees, until spring, during which time malolactic fermentation has completed. The barrels are racked and blended just before the following vintage and bottled unfiltered.
Maturation: 10 months in 225L French oak barrels

Description
Mullineux GRANITE Chenin Blanc 2024
The cooler evenings of the 2023 growing season worked in unison with the GRANITE soils to develop up-front aromas of citrus blossom, summer fynbos and hints of green tea. The mid-palate is driven by minerality and vibrancy. As to be expected from its GRANITE soils, this wine will have a long, slow, linear progression as it ages and will provide the most drinking pleasure if decanted.
Alcohol 14.0 % – RS 1,8 g/l – TA 6.5 g/l – pH 3.30
