Mullineux Straw Wine Half 2020

Mullineux is a highly focused family winery based near the village of Riebeek Kasteel, in the Swartland region of South Africa. Hailing from two of Mullineux`s best old vine dry-farmed vineyards with the freshest acidity, this 100% Chenin Blanc Straw Wine was made from hand-harvested grapes left to dry in the shade outdoors for 2-4 weeks, allowing moisture to evaporate naturally from the berries, concentrating sugars, acids and flavour. Liquid gold in the glass, this fleshy yet focused sweet wine evokes notes of Cape gooseberry-compote and dried apricots, with enticing marmalade, marzipan and honey aromas. The complex layers of the intense mouth feel are balanced by a Granitic freshness reminiscent of wines grown in these ancient soils. Best served chilled at 9 to 11 °C.
