The Great Heart Swartland Chenin Blanc ensnares the nose with an inviting bouquet of green apple, yellow citrus and stone fruit, and subtle hints of flint. The palate, quite typical of Swartland Chenin, trumps with a remarkable texture and full mouthfeel, wonderfully balanced by the wine's lively acidity and slightly pithy character. A fresh and mineral finish brings perfection and gives delicious pleasure.

Great Heart is Mullineux's employee development project.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were whole bunch pressed and the juice obtained was left to rest overnight. Apart from a minimal addition of SO2, as with all Great Heart wines, no other additives were added. The juice was then skimmed from the settled sediment and transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation (85%) and older French oak barrels (15%), where spontaneous fermentation by naturally occurring yeast began and lasted for six weeks. After the wine fermented in steel was blended with the wine vinified in barrel, the wine aged for another three months before bottling.
