Made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced from a single vineyard planted in the loam-rich foothills of Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. Focused and taut, with bright Granny Smith apple, candied lemon rind, brioche‑like mid‑palate richness, limestone‑driven minerality, lively acidity and a lingering saline finish.
The 2020 Chardonnay has a nicely detailed bouquet, not complex yet taut and focused, offering orchard fruit and touches of dewy meadow. The harmonious palate is well balanced with hints of strawberry intertwined with citrus fruit and a faint dab of blood orange. There’s lovely depth here, and a precise, persistent finish. This comes strongly recommended. Just superb.
Ripe, juicy and fresh, the 2020 Chardonnay reveals picturesque and healthy fruit aromas of Bosc pear, sweet Meyer lemon and pan sautéed yellow apples with notions of citrus blossom and lemon pastry cream. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is focused, precise and balanced with notions of graham cracker, yellow peach and cardamom madeleines. Juicy acidity elevates the mouthfeel before concluding with a food-friendly and delightfully lingering finish. Bravo, it is yet another excellent bottling that was commanded by the Mullineux team for their staff empowerment project. Add this bottle to your shopping list.
