About this Item

2020 Trifecta Chenin Blanc
24 (4 x 6) 750ml

“A good wine to everyone is a great wine to no one. And that, for me, is the essence of what I am trying to achieve behind my Cape Winemakers Guild Auction wines: wines that are rare, wines that can provoke your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions.” - Andrea Mullineux

100% Chenin Blanc

This wine hails from Mullineux's top three Chenin Blanc vineyards planted on three soil types: GRANITE, SCHIST and IRON. The grapes were whole bunch pressed to a single barrel and co-fermented in a layered fashion with indigenous yeast. Left on the lees, unsulphured until bottling. The wine will be auctioned off in its 34th month of ageing.

“Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy
That swept that afternoon
To paint that love upon a white balloon
And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops that man has pushed
Beyond his brain
Satori must be something just the same”
Memory of a Free Festival Part 1 – Space Oddity (1990)

"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring" - David Bowie
