Tasting Notes

Blood orange, ripe pear and savoury mineral notes create a more layered and powerful take on Chenin Blanc. Rich in texture yet beautifully balanced, it offers depth and complexity while retaining the freshness that makes the variety so compelling.

About Mullineux

Settling among the ancient granite and schist terroirs of the Swartland, winemaking power-duo Chris and Andrea Mullineux have skyrocketed to become one of South Africa’s most decorated icons. With an unprecedented five Platter’s Winery of the Year awards under their belt, they lean on old vines and sustainable farming to craft mesmerisingly vibrant bottles that balance effortless finesse with deep regional character.

About Swartland

Swartland sits north of Cape Town and has become one of South Africa’s most dynamic and closely watched regions. Old bush vines, varied soils and a warm, dry climate form the backbone of its identity, with producers placing real emphasis on sustainable farming and minimal intervention. Chenin Blanc is a key white variety, often showing impressive depth and ageworthiness, while red blends built around Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault offer structure without heaviness. The region is known for its independence and experimentation, with many small producers championing site expression over overt winemaking. Swartland stands out for its clarity, authenticity and consistently confident wines.
