Mulderbosch Sparkling Chenin

Mulderbosch Sparkling Chenin has a radiant gold with a hint of green, which offers a preview of the upcoming vibrancy of such a great wine.

METHOD
Utmost care in the winemaking process with respect to fruit integrity and focus on clean, uninterrupted fruit expression is key. Early, cool harvests with natural fermentations and clear understanding of different micro interactions, culminate into a wine that is harmonious and just a pleasure to drink. This wine spent 8 months in neutral, big format oak barrels before a state of the art, in-line carbonation processes helped to fulfil the dream of creating a world class Sparkling wine.

TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Gold and trimmed in green.
Nose: Chenin blanc makes for a great bubble as the sweet tropical alure that is Chenin shines when combined with some sparkle. Apricot, peach and pear are beautifully balanced by the earthy, vanilla pod nuances that appear as a result of some very well-judged use of oak.
Palate: Brimming with flavour and keen to give. It does hold back some fines nuances and waits for the sweet fruit explosion to temper and allow for the seduction of sweeter spice to entice.
