| Bright medium straw colour. Extremely toasty, complex, spicy, intense, baked lemon meringue nose with some Seville orange marmalade notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, very spicy, intense, tangy, pineapple-Seville orange marmalade flavours with a lingering, high acid, very cedary finish. Try with roast chicken. This unfined and unfiltered blend of 62% Chenin Blanc, 8% Clairette, 11% Viognier, 15% Grenache Blanc, no Sauvignon Gris and 4% Semillon has 13% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar with lot number L7060E on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 89-points - Minerally, quince nose; medium to full-bodied, dry, well-extracted quince and pear flavours with a touch of bitterness on the finish for interest. |

| Tim Atkin named Chris and Andrea Mullineux his 2017 South African Winemakers of the Year. TASTING NOTE: \"Texture is very important for us,\" says Chris Mullineux of this brilliant blend of mostly Chenin Blanc with Clairette, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Semillon. Rich, dense and mouth filling, it's savoury, honeyed and subtle with fine-grained oak and balancing acidity. Drink Date: 2017-2021. Score - 94 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2017) |
