Product information "Mullineux Granite Chenin Blanc 2016"
The Mullineux Granite Chenin Blanc exudes seductive aromas of a bouquet of summery stone fruit with nuances of citrus aromas. On the palate it is mineral fresh with a perfect balance between acidity and alcohol and ends in a long fruity fresh finish - a feast for the senses and a pleasure of the finest.

The grapes for this noble drop were immediately cooled down in the cold room after the harvest and then pressed all over the bunch. The juice was left to rest overnight. An absolute minimum of sulphur dioxide was added as the only addition, as with all Mullineux wines. The juice was put into barrels for fermentation, with the yeast, which occurs wild in the natural environment of the winery, starting the fermentation process "spontaneously". The total fermentation time was 4 weeks. The wine also stopped the malolactic fermentation in the barrel and matured in third and fourth French oak and was blended and bottled unfiltered.
