Mulderbosch Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc Block W 2020
South Africa, Stellenbosch
Chenin Blanc
Description
Liquid gold with green hue finish.
First appearances are somewhat deceiving, as the nose takes a pause to open fully. The purity is striking, think “long awaited rain on parched earth”, freshness abounds with sea spray and misty mornings coming first to mind. This is a taut minerallike wine like no other.
The palate is focused, rich and tightly wrapped with tropical fruit nuances, lingering thoughts of bales of straw and creamed peaches with toffee apple sauce for good measure. A wine to treasure for some time.
