Mullineux Kloof Street Chenin Blanc Swartland South Africa 2022
Pale straw in colour, this wine has a nose of sun ripened pears and wet granite. The palate has a vibrant acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and some pithy character. The wine has a fresh, mineral finish. Best enjoyed young and served at 10 to 12 ˚C.
Our Kloof Street range is all about freshness, balance and great drinkability. Grapes for our Kloof Street Chenin Blanc come from vineyard parcels on a variety of soils in different parts of the Swartland. The wine is part tank and part barrel fermented.

Mullineux is a highly focused family winery based near the village of Riebeek Kasteel, in the Swartland region of South Africa. We produce a select range of hand-crafted wines from the granite and shale based soils of the area.
Mullineux was established in 2007, when Chris and Andrea Mullineux settled in the Swartland wine region, 60 kilometers north of Cape Town. 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. By 2020 the winery had received thirty 5-star ratings from Platter’s South African Wine Guide, as well as being awarded Platter’s Winery of the Year an unprecedented 4 times in 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020. In addition, Andrea was named Wine Enthusiast’s 2016 International Winemaker of the Year and in 2016 Chris & Andrea were Tim Atkin’s South African Winemakers of the Year.
Our aim is to bottle wines that are a true expression of the swartland. All steps of our winemaking process are taken with this aim in mind and we pay the highest possible attention to detail in everything we do. A natural, minimalist approach is followed both in the vineyards and cellar. We work closely with a select group of growers who follow sustainable, reasoned farming practices. In the cellar, apart from minimal amount of sulphur, nothing is added to, or removed from our wines. We do not make use of any yeasts, acids, tannins, enzymes, or fining and filtering agents.
