The Kloof Street Chenin Blanc by Chris and Andrea Mullineux offers terrific quality relative to price. They made wines in France and California before settling in South Africa in 2007. They were named International winemaker of the year in 2016 by Wine Enthusiast. Grapes come from three sustainably farmed vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland, one on schist and two on granite, all more or less 40 years old. Enchanting aromatics of pear, white peach, potpourri and fynbos (South Africa’s version of garrigue), while the palate has pure fruit, bright acidity balanced by a soft, round texture and some pithy character. Intense without being weighty. Fresh, mineral finish.
