Rich & Intense

Mullineux Family Wines was established in 2007 in the Swartland region of South Africa, owned and managed by Chris and Andrea Mullineux. Within a very short time period the winery established itself as one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine brands, both locally and on the international front.

The Swartland has a very unique geology which allows for exploration of its various terroirs through Western Cape classic varieties like Chenin Blanc and Syrah, among others.

"First made in 2013, Granite has established itself as one of the best Chenins in the Cape, especially so in a vintage like 2017. Focused, floral and intense, with incredible grip and precision, creamy lees, stylish oak and good length."TA  "This has both rich and racy elements, with meringue and brioche notes leading off, followed by a mix of peach, lemon peel, creamed yellow apple and quinine flavors. Everything knits nicely through the light, salted butter–gilded finish. Drink now through 2023." WS

 This product is part of the LCBO November Classics Catalogue. It will take approximately 3-4 weeks to be delivered from its release date.

Vinous

92 Points

The 2017 Granite Chenin Blanc has a very well defined bouquet with a stricter and more linear set of aromatics that need more coaxing from the glass than the 2016. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity - perhaps a more refined version of the 2016 – and features veins of ginger toward the poised and quite persistent finish.

Platters

Amongst oldest vineyards in Paardeberg, deep soils allow dryland farming, minimal stress. Complex layers, grapefruit & almond in 2017, more minerality & saline acidity than 2016, shows unwavering refinement, assurance; chenin excellence.
