Mullineux, fact sheet (mlfwines.com – linket fra mlfwines.com, hentet 2026-10-18): 2018 Mullineux Kloof Street Chenin Blanc – område: Swartland; 100% Chenin Blanc; alkohol 13.5%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vineyards: Grapes for our 2018 Chenin Blanc come from three sustainably farmed vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland: One parcel of 37-year-old Chenin planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of Kasteelberg, and two parcels of 40+ year-old dry land, bush vine Chenin grown in the decomposed Granite soils of the Paardeberg. . Harvest: Grapes were harvested between the 1st February and 11th February 2018 with yields between 3 to 6 tons/ha = 24 to 33 HL/ha. Winemaking: Grapes are chilled in our cold room then pressed whole-bunch and the juice is allowed to settle overnight. Minimal SO2 is added and, as with all our wines, no further additions are made. The juice is then racked to tank (85%) and older French oak barrels (15%) for fermentation. Fermentation is with indigenous yeasts and lasts up to 6 weeks. The barrels are racked and blended with the tank fermented portion and then bottled.
