Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc (75cl, 13.5%)

Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc is a dry white wine from Stellenbosch, South Africa, at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle, made from 100% Chenin Blanc. Mulderbosch Vineyards became one of the first South African producers to champion barrel-fermented Chenin Blanc. This expression is fermented in 65% stainless steel tanks and 35% neutral large wood vessels, preserving bright fruit while adding subtle textural complexity. Harvest begins as early as possible to capture natural acidity. The nose opens with ripe stone fruit, apricot and white peach, followed by Granny Smith apple, honeydew melon, chalky mineral notes, chamomile and herbaceous nuances. The palate is bright and citrus-forward, with orchard fruit, pear and summer melon, yeasty creaminess, clean salinity and medium-plus body. The finish is crisp and clean with a lingering mineral edge and gentle stone-fruit echo.
