Mullineux Quartz Chenin Blanc

The grapes for Quartz Chenin Blanc come from a single plot of over 34-year-old Chenin Blanc vines growing on a plot where the soil is rich in quartz at Kasteelberg. This plot of Chenin Blanc gives the best expression of Kasteelberg's quartz-rich soil - freshness and minerality. The wine is fermented with natural wild yeast in oak barrels and then aged for 11 months on the lees. The wine is bottled unfiltered. Quartz Chenin has a very mineral aroma with notes of ripe citrus fruit and spice. The minerality is echoed in the creamy flavour along with white peach and almonds. Nice fresh citrus dominated finish. Best served chilled at 12 degrees. Decanting is recommended if the wine is drunk in the first 4 years after the harvest year.

Lots of dried mangoes, dried apricots and dried papaya, as well as cream undertones. Full-bodied, dense and layered with a beautiful line of acidity and a nutmeg finish. Drink now. A blend of 62% chenin blanc, 15% grenache blanc, 11% viognier, 8% clairette blanche and 4% semillon. Drink now.

Now appearing with its vineyard name, but this has been bottled as a stand alone Chenin since 2012. Located on the western side of the Kasteelberg on mostly quartz soils, it's a remarkable site that has produced a very taut, even austere wine with subtle oak, quince and apple flavours and real poise. 2018-28.

The 2016 Quartz Chenin "Leliefontein" has a very perfumed bouquet of honeysuckle, dried peach, marmalade and light yellow plum. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, notes of yellow plum, mandarin, white pepper and hints of bitter lemon lending tension toward the finish. This would be my pick of the Mullineuxs' white 2016s. 2019 - 2032.

Alluring, with a long run of fig, pear, mirabelle plum, green almond and honeysuckle flavors flowing together from start to finish. Rich yet detailed, with juicy energy focusing the finish nicely. Drink now through 2020.-J.M.
