Mullineux Rondomskrik Iron Chenin Blanc 2023
Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaOne of ZA's top champions and saviours of old vines, wife / husband Andrea (winemaker) and Chris (viticulturist) Mullineux are known for their wide range of terroir expressive wines. This chenin comes from Rondomskirk's vineyard's Koffieklip / iron rich soils (Rondomskrik translates to 'scared from all around' referencing the fierce winds that come from all directions. From bush vines planted 1989, this was whole bunch pressed and native fermented in 500-2000L barrels (foudres were new) with MLF, before 11 months in 225L barrels. Ripe pear, meyer lemon, perfumed quince is lit with crushed stones, bedded with downy lees, and laced with a potent salinity which lingers long on the finish. Serious wine, drinking now and with time ahead.Tasted: 22 May 2026Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $136.00 | 750ml | consignment |
