Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc 2022 – 750ml Not specified

90pts James Suckling

Aromas of ripe guava, lemons, currant leaves and crushed stones. Textured and round on the palate with a note of salinity. Flavorful and creamy finish.

Winemaker Notes

The wine is bright in appearance, with a nose of fresh pears, ripe apricots and subtle oak spice from maturation of just over 40% of the blend in large, neutral oak barrels and Foudres.

The firmly textured wine displays a fine crisp neutral acidity penetrating the length of the palate, supporting flavours of ripe Granny Smith apples and cinnamon spice. As with all wines of pedigree, the length of the finish is a mark of the wonderful concentration of fruit flavour and balance often achieved through the use of mature vineyards, as is the case here.
