Mullineux Schist Chenin Blanc 2023 originates from the Mullineux family’s vineyards on the Paardeberg, Swartland, characterised by schistous soils. The wine displays aromas of fresh quince and subtle white peach, underpinned by a distinct mineral edge. On the palate, you’ll find a firm, chalky texture, contributing to a structured mouthfeel. The acidity is pronounced, providing balance and complexity. Mullineux is known for its commitment to sustainable farming practices, ensuring the preservation of their unique terroir and the authenticity of their wines.

Vinous
The 2023 Chenin Blanc Schist comes from shallow brown slate soils that restrict the vine growth, yielding smaller clusters with thicker skins. It has a perfumed, slightly floral bouquet with yellow plum, jasmine and light stony aromas—my favorite of the three Chenins. The palate has exquisite balance. It’s quite feisty with an oily texture and very good depth. Much more phenolic than their other whites, it closes with a sustained finish. Great potential.
