Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc 2014

It looks like: The packaging is stunning in its simplicity. In a screwcapped flint bottle, it bears the classic Mulderbosch 'cigar' label. In the glass it is gem bright, pale golden straw with lime green flashes around the edge of the glass. It smells like: Chenin Blanc whiffs of wet riverstones, white flowers and ripe tangy tropical fruits. Undertow of oak very appealing. It tastes like: A thread of chalkiness runs through from nose to tail. The white flowers, honeysuckle and frangipani sit comfortably with the kelpy minerality in the wine, the aftertaste of which is long and gently waning.
