WINE DESCRIPTION

Mullineux Straw Wine is a highly sought-after dessert wine produced by Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines in South Africa's Swartland region. The wine is made from Chenin Blanc grapes that are left to dry on straw mats for several weeks, intensifying their flavors and sugars. The resulting wine is rich and luscious, with notes of honey, apricot, and dried fruit. The winemakers use traditional techniques to create this unique wine, including wild yeast fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. Mullineux Straw Wine is a perfect choice for those who enjoy sweet, complex wines with a long finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Mullineux Straw Wine is a unique and wonderful expression of Chenin Blanc from Swartland.It is a naturally sweet, straw-colored wine with intense aromas of ripe yellow apple, honey, and lemon zest. On the palate, the wine is balanced and full-bodied, with a pleasant sweetness and notes of dried apricot, honeycomb, and a hint of lanolin. It has a long, creamy finish. This is a delightful and complex wine that pairs well with summer fruits, desserts, and cheeses.
