Mullineux, Chenin Blanc Schist, Swartland

Super ample et bine droit. Pommes et poires avec une pointe de miel. Aromes de fleurs et de minéraux. Belle allonge sapide et bien persistant. Excellent.

A Journey Through Spain's Finest: Our Coque Experience (Madrid, Spain) : Experience at 2-Michelin starred Coque in Madrid. The sommelier praised Andrea Mullineux as one of South Africa's finest winemakers. This wine from the coastal Swartland region is 100% Chenin Blanc grown on schist soil, with the label referencing the ancient salts visible in the vineyard. Bright, light melon character with neutral aromatics but exceptional mouth feel. Best white wine of the meal. Excellent pairing with the zucchini blossom dish …

Lovely nose with white peach, delicate honey and floral notes. Light to medium bodied with a burst of intensity. Very long, fresh finish. Very enjoyable. My preference out of the single site 23 Chenin Blancs from Mullineux.
