About this Item

Mullineux
Schist Chenin 2013
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
Grapes for the 2013 Schist Chenin come from two parcels of Chenin blanc planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Riebeek Kasteel Mountain, aged 35 and 39 years old. These are the parcels of Chenin that gives the best expression of the Kasteelberg's terroir - density and structure - but with a decent balance of acidity. Mullineux follow sustainable, reasoned farming practices.

Critics Ratings

'2013 from 2 old schist-based Kasteelberg vineyards. Natural ferment, & old oak (as for all Mullineux whites). Understated & refined, with similar mineral undertone to stellar 2012 (5 stars). Subtler than Quartz sibling but equally focused & ageable.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015 - 4.5*

'The sophomore 2013 Mullineux Schist Chenin comes from two 35-year-old vineyards and has a seductive lemon thyme, dried pineapple and quince-scented bouquet, hints of lemon curd developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied with touches of lime flower, dried apricot, a touch of quince and great precision on the finish. I cannot wait to see how this develops and though approachable now, I would prefer to cellar my bottles for 3-4 years.' - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 93/100 (Oct 2014)
