Mullineux White Blend 2013
Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaThis white Swartland blend was built around old vine chenin blanc and complexed with clairette blanche and viognier. Wild ferment, low sulfur, early picking and eleven months in French oak (20 percent new) ups the complexities further. Meadow herbs and wax open the nose, continuing onto the creamy palate. Fine apricot spicing, ripe pear, light cream, subtle white flowers, minerality and textured lees are lifted with easy acidity and finish with a lingering and alluring saltiness.Tasted: 30 October 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:AB | $31.00 | 750ml | |
