Mulderbosch Old Vine Steen Op Hout 2022
R337.00
Colour: A sparkling gold with green hues. Nose: At first this wine seems a bit restrained, and after a while you only start to fathom its incredible depth and complexity. This uncompromising site delivers a wine with such nervous energy, it completely defies its age and adds such an array of flavour, it’s simply captivating. Palate: Layers and layers of flavour to unwrap, spectacularly intertwined with the finest minerality and acid focal points. This wine continues to keep the drinker/thinker entranced with its display of site-specific nuances, but also brings to the fore the undisputed diversity that can only be Chenin Blanc.

Description
The newly renamed Mulderbosch Old Vine Steen Op Hout is sourced from one of our longest-standing growers, Rustenhof. A single vineyard of bush vine Chenin Blanc planted on a hill that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. These vines were 44 years old in 2022. The wine was whole bunch pressed, settled overnight and racked to a 1500 litre foudre for fermentation and maturation. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was sulphured and remained on lees for the duration of its 12-month sojourn in foudre. The wine was racked and prepared for bottling in April of the following year.
