MULLINEUX OLD VINES WHITE 2020

Swartland, South Africa

Grapes – chenin blanc, clairette blanche, grenache blanc, viognier, semillon gris, verdelho

Chris and Andrea Mullineux practice sustainable dry farming in Swartland, where old vine chenin blanc is found in plenty. A host of Mediterranean grapes add complexity to the mix and create a unique blend. Floral and fragrant, this is an inviting sip with mandarin oranges, ripe apricots, spices, and grapefruit notes with a saline edge. The wine is unfined and unfiltered. Its viscous texture is appealing, giving it a lovely mouthfeel while the acid is fresh and vibrant. $68, Wines to Share
