Mullineux, fact sheet (mlfwines.com – linket fra mlfwines.com, hentet 2026-10-18): 2013 Mullineux Kloof Street Chenin Blanc – område: Swartland; druer: Chenin Blanc; alkohol 13%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vineyards: Grapes for our 2013 Chenin blanc come from three vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland: One parcel of 33 year-old Chenin blanc planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Riebeek Kasteel Mountain, and two parcels of 40+ year-old dry land, bush vine Chenin grown in the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg mountain. We lease each parcel on a long term basis, and have close and direct involvement in their viticultural management. Harvest: Grapes are harvested between the 28th January and 7th February 2013 Winemaking: Hand-picked grapes are cooled in our cold room, where after they are pressed whole-bunch, and the juice is allowed to settle overnight. 20ppm SO2 is added, and as with all our wines, no other additions are made. The juice is then racked to tank (85%) and 5 year old barrels (15%) for fermentation. Fermentation is with indigenous yeasts, and lasts up to 6 weeks. After malolactic fermentation, the barrels are racked and blended with the tank fermented portion and bottled.
