Mulderbosch Single Vineyard Block W Chenin Blanc 2016

Deep golden in appearance, Block W displays richness, finesse and power. Herbal aromatics are complemented by truffle notes, yet there is a layer of confected, tangy citrus fruit that lifts the wine. Very fine acidity and a mineral texture create a tautly structured palate that is both powerful and persistent yet retains a roundness and accessibility
