Product information "Mullineux Kloof Street Old Vine Chenin Blanc 2019"
In light straw colour, the Mullineux Kloof Street Old Vine Chenin Blanc flows into the glass and exudes fine aromas of sun-ripened pears and a pleasantly subtle minerality. On the palate it shows a lively acidity, which is balanced by a soft, round texture and a somewhat pithy character. It ends in a fresh mineral finish.

The grapes were harvested by hand and pressed as whole bunches in the refrigerator without destemming. The only addition during the production of the wine is 20ppm SO2 (sulphur dioxide), which is added to the grape juice before fermentation. This corresponds to 0.002%. The fermentation starts spontaneously with the yeasts present in the cellar and lasts up to six weeks. 85% of the wine was aged in steel tanks, the rest in five-year-old oak barrels.
