Swartland, South Africa

 

Husband and wife winemakers Chris and Andrea Mullineux have spent their share of vintages in France, California and South Africa, but it was the Swartland that captured their hearts with its old vines and granite, schist and iron-rich soils. While they have proven themselves talented winemakers with many different styles of wine, earning accolades from several prominent wine critics and publications, this cuvee in particular utilizes both old vine Chenin Blanc (up to 66 years in age) and parcels of grapes grown on distinctly different soil types to achieve a complex, structured and balanced blend. You will find aromas and flavors of ripe apricot and nectarine, yellow grapefruit, chamomile, pastry, almonds and cinnamon, with a flinty minerality on the finish. This bottle would pair beautifully with sautéed sea scallops, seared pork belly or roasted root vegetables.
