About this Item

2013 - 2018 Mulderbosch Single Vineyard Chenin Blanc Block A Vertical
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

It's a little known fact, but a fact all the same, that South African Chenin Blanc wines are among the world's finest. It's also a fact that there is a group of visionary South African wine producers who are, not only fast spreading the word, but also continually providing hard evidence by producing Chenin Blanc wines of increasingly remarkable quality.
They're giving this noble variety royal treatment in the vineyard and cellar, and it's responding as nobility should - with grand personality, regal flavours and stately versatility.

For 30 years Mulderbosch Vineyards has been recognized for crafting innovative and extraordinary wines that reflect the passion and creativity of the people behind the brand. During this time they have consistently received critical acclaim and continue to push the frontiers of winemaking and viticulture in order to satisfy the loyal supporters from across the globe.

The vineyard was known as Eikenhof. The first vintage produced was 2013 (the vines were 30 years old then) and the last vintage produced was 2018 (the vines were 35 years old then). The vineyard has since been pulled out and therefore makes this a special swan song lot of the Block A for the Strauss & Co Fine Wine Auction.
