Mullineux Chenin Blanc Granite 2021

Grapes were first chilled in Mullineux's cold room then pressed as whole bunches, before the juice was allowed to settle overnight. Minimal SO2 was added and, as with all their wines, no further additions were made. The juice was then racked to barrel for fermentation which took place with indigenous yeasts and lasted for about four weeks. The wine was left in barrels, on its lees, until spring, during which time it went through malolactic fermentation. In total, the wine was spent 11 months in third and fourth fill French oak barrels. The barrels were racked and blended just before the following vintage and bottled unfiltered.
