Description

The Mulderbosch ‘Steen Op Hout’ Chenin Blanc is sourced from vineyards that vary in age from five years old to 35 years old. Significantly, they are all within a range two to eight miles from the Atlantic Ocean at False Bay, and as such are strongly influenced by a maritime climate, which plays a crucial role in the ultimate wine’s freshness and poise. With 40% of the blend matured in large, neutral oak barrels and foudres for six months the Steen Op Hout is a vibrant and fresh expression of Chenin Blanc. Aromas of fresh pear, ripe apricot and subtle oak spice lead to a firm texture with a beautiful fine crisp line penetrating the length of the palate supporting flavours of ripe Granny Smith apples and cinnamon spice. A great match with Asian style lightly spiced prawns and sesame toast.[#intro]A vibrant and fresh Chenin Blanc perfect for lightly spiced Asian dishes…[/intro]
