About Mullineux Old Vines White

Imagine a wine that not only tantalises the palate but also transports you to the stunning wheat fields of Swartland (South Africa). A wine of character, originating from ancient vineyards planted in the granitic soils of the legendary Paardeberg mountain.
 
Mullineux Old Vines White is the quintessential embodiment of this fabled region, a place where time seems to have paused to allow nature to present its finest version. This white wine invites you to explore its complexity and the history behind each cluster, a tale of vineyards up to 72 years old that have adeptly adapted to the unique terroir of Swartland.
 
The Mullineux winery, established in 2007 by winemakers Chris and Andrea Mullineux, has garnered international acclaim for its excellence in wine production. After working in wineries in France and California, they meticulously chose the Swartland region, with its granitic and schist soils, to craft wines of the highest quality.
 
In the blink of an eye, Mullineux has been hailed as one of South Africa's most celebrated wineries, earning exceptional ratings and numerous accolades, such as Winery of the Year in the Platter's South African Wine Guide, on five occasions. Moreover, Andrea was named International Winemaker of the Year 2016 by Wine Enthusiast; Chris and Andrea were South Africa's Winemakers of the Year, according to Tim Atkin, also in 2016. With a solid foundation in tradition and an innovative approach, Mullineux remains a benchmark for those seeking an authentic connection with the terroir.
 
Mullineux Old Vines White is a harmonious blend of varieties such as chenin blanc, clairette blanche, sémillon gris, grenache blanc, and viognier, cultivated sustainably. After a manual harvest, the must ferments using indigenous yeasts and undergoes maturation in French oak barrels and foudres. The result is a white wine of great complexity, with a meticulous crafting process that imparts a rich and profound texture, as well as a vibrant structure.
 
Mullineux Old Vines White is not merely a wine; it is an invitation to experience the essence of Swartland, a gem encapsulating the passion of a pioneering winery in South Africa. Dare to journey through its flavour and discover why this winery is considered one of the country's finest.
