Mulderbosch Single Vineyard Block S2 Chenin Blanc 2016

With its deep golden colour and rich, earthy flavour profile, this is a serious Chenin Blanc. On the nose there are decadent aromas of burnt caramel and pie-crust which amplify the wine’s rich character. The palate, whilst dry and savoury, has bright, piercing acidity which counterbalances subtle saline notes and provides the wine with a lengthy, penetrating finish.
