Mullineux Granite Chenin Blanc 2015
Wine Cellar price: R505
From two Paardeberg vineyards, 39 and 43 years old. A hint of reduction plus pear, white peach and wild herbs. The palate is lean and angular – very fresh with a pithy finish.

#WinemagRating: 91/100.

Mullineux Quartz “Leliefontein” Chenin Blanc 2015
Wine Cellar price: R505
From a 34-year-old Kasteelberg vineyard. A very expressive nose – again a hint of reduction as well as dried herbs and talcum powder before peach, naartjie and spice. On the palate, pure fruit and fresh acidity before a long, dry finish – lovely composure.

#WinemagRating: 93/100.

From a 21-year-old Paardeberg vineyard. Matured for 12 months in 500-litre barrels, 25% new followed by 12 months in foudre.  Red fruit, violets and lilies plus plenty of spice. Quite lean on the palate with fresh acidity and fine tannins, the finish long and particularly savoury.
