'Chenin Blanc is the marquee variety here, with support from 26% Clairette Blanche,
Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Semillon Gris, Viura and Verdelho, most of which is sourced from
37 to 70-year-old vines. Lemon, lime and wet stone flavours with some phenolic grip and
remarkable palate length. 2021-27' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 95/100
'The 2019 White Old Vines was left without additional sulfur on its lees until spring and matured in foudres and 500-liter used barrels for nine months. It has a fragrant bouquet of nutmeg, hazelnut and touches of white chocolate, suggestions of orange blossom developing with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a wonderful, tensile opening, hinting at marmalade, quince and subtle walnut and smoky notes on the finish, which has real gusto. This is a wonderful white blend from the Chris and Andrea Mullineux. Drink 2022-2036.' – Neal Martin, Vinous, 94/100 (Apr 2021)

| Producer information | At the cutting-edge of SA fine wine, the Mullineuxs have received many ground-breaking awards and, since 2007, have focused their Swartland efforts on Syrah and Chenin Blanc. Their extensive knowledge of Swartland soils, and what Andrea calls a 'growing technical maturity', has consistently led to the release of some of the most definitive expressions of the Swartand's various terroirs. With over a decade of dedication to winemaking in the Swartland, and considering the consistency and track record across their various bottlings, Chris and Andrea Mullineux are one of SA's top producers. |
