Mullineux Iron Chenin Blanc 2021

The Iron Chenin Blanc is one of a trio of brilliant whites from the Mullineux, sourced from the red clay soils of the Rondomskrik vineyard. The least self-evidently fruity of the three, this is earthy and ferrous, with stony, phenolic notes that wouldn’t look out of place in a Catalan Xarel-lo, savoury tannins and serious structure. Drink date: 2023-2030. Score – 96. (timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2022)
