Mulderbosch Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc Block W 2019
South Africa, Stellenbosch
Chenin Blanc
Premium
Description
As with previous vintages, the first glimpse is pure gold with a green tinge.
The nose is shy at first, giving an indication of its introvertive youthful nature. Some wet stone and rain on parched earth open up to sweet winter melon and quiche, with a touch of vanilla and custard.
The palate is focused, rich and tense. Needs some time and persuasion to open up. But when it does it is beautifully appealing with fresh fruit and fine focused acidity leaning into a full and succinct finish.
