Mullineux Straw Wine 2023 375ml

This vibrant golden Chenin Blanc, with its luminous hue and exceptional balance, is a true vin de paille. Aromas of sun-dried apricots, warm lemon meringue pie, and a distinct citrus pithiness fill the air. The palate is intensely silky, showcasing the wine’s exquisite concentration and acidity.

Vineyard Notes:
Sourced from 46-year-old granite soil vineyards on the Paardeberg and 42-year-old schist soil vineyards on Kasteelberg, these parcels provide the ideal acidity for producing exceptional Straw Wine.

Production Notes:
Hand-harvested grapes are left to dry outdoors until they shrivel, concentrating sugars, acids, and flavors. The grapes are then crushed and pressed whole bunch and fermented naturally in old oak barrels. After 11 months, the barrels are racked, blended, and bottled unfiltered and unfined.
