Olerasay 2º NV (flere årgange)

Mullineux, fact sheet (mlfwines.com – linket fra mlfwines.com, hentet 2026-10-18): NV Mullineux Olerasay 2º – område: Swartland; 100% Chenin Blanc; alkohol 8.5%. Flerårgangsvin (solera af strå-vin) ifølge arket: None Producentens noter (engelsk): Vineyards: Grapes for our Olerasay Straw Wine are sourced from the parcels of old vine Chenin Blanc that give us the best acidity at harvest. The vines are planted in the stony Schist based soils of the Kasteelberg and the decomposed Granite based soils of the Paardeberg. Winemaking: Grapes are harvested at normal ripeness levels of 22 to 23˚ Brix and left to dry in the shade of some trees for a few weeks. This allows the moisture to evaporate naturally from the berries, concentrating sugars, acids and flavor. When the grapes have shriveled halfway to becoming raisins they are crushed and pressed whole bunch into old 225L barrels. The juice ferments naturally for around 9 months and finishes on its own, with no fortification or filtration. Each vintage we hold back a barrel or two of Straw Wine and blend them into our Solera, refreshing it each year with the new vintages. As we are legally not allowed to use the term Solera on the bottles, we named the wine Olerasay. This is our second release of Olerasay and is from barrels which were fractionally blended from the 2008 through 2019 vintages, producing many layers of complexity, nuttiness and depth. We will continue adding to the Solera for decades to come, bottling a portion every 5 to 10 years or so. Maturation: Old 225L French oak barrels
