Vintners harvest the 100% Chenin Blanc grapes at normal ripeness from old bush vines. These clusters then air-dry outdoors for several weeks to concentrate sugars, flavors, and acids naturally. The result is a luminous golden liquid with an incredibly viscous texture. You will find explosive aromas of dried apricot, honeyed citrus, and fynbos on the nose. The palate offers a harmonious balance where the intense sweetness meets a “killer line” of acidity. Every sip of Mullineux Straw Wine 2025 375ml leads to a long, savory finish that never feels cloying. This wine reflects the ancient granite soils of the Paardeberg with crystalline purity.
