ready-improve2017 Mullineux, Old Vines White, Swartland, South Africa

Mullineux’s 2017 Old Vines White is predominantly Chenin Blanc from 70-year-old vines. Concentrated and richly scented fruit on the nose, the attack is generous and leads to a mid-palate filled with glossy, ripe fruit – think apricot kernel and white peach. Stony undertones layer with fresh acidity, bringing definition and further complexity. This is a wine which pairs perfectly with rich food.
