Mullineux Signature Straw Wine 2024 37.5cl

Mullineux Signature Straw Wine

A rare and highly acclaimed dessert wine from the Swartland, handcrafted by renowned winemakers Chris and Andrea Mullineux. Produced exclusively from Chenin Blanc grown on the granite-rich slopes of Kasteelberg Mountain, this exceptional wine showcases the concentration and purity achieved through the traditional straw wine method.

Harvested late in the season, the grapes are carefully dried on straw mats to naturally intensify their sugars and flavours before slow fermentation and over two years of ageing in seasoned French oak barrels. The result is a luxurious dessert wine of remarkable richness, freshness and elegance.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Brilliant golden with luminous amber highlights.
• Nose: Expressive aromas of dried apricot, candied citrus and creamy lemon curd.
• Palate: Rich and beautifully textured, revealing layers of honeyed peach, orange zest and ripe stone fruits, balanced by vibrant natural acidity.
• Finish: Long, elegant and refreshing, leaving lingering notes of citrus, honey and dried fruit.
