The 2019 White Old Vines was left without additional sulfur on its lees until spring and matured in foudres and 500- I iter used barrels for nine months. It has a fragrant bouquet of nutmeg, hazelnut and touches of white chocolate, suggestions of orange blossom developing with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a wonderful, tensile opening, hinting at marmalade, quince and subtle walnut and smoky notes on the finish, which has real gusto. This is a wonderful white blend from the Chris and Andrea Mullineux.

A medium straw color in the glass, the 2019 Old Vine White is a blend of 74% Chenin Blanc, 8% Clairette Blanche, 7% Viognier, 6% Grenache Blanc, 2% Semillon, 2% Macabeo and 1% Verdelho. On the nose, it possesses elements of dusty citrus blossom, white peach and Meyer lemon. Medium-bodied, the palate presents a slight prickle of minerality, nuances of sweet citrus and a nutty and leesy texture. The white blend concludes with a subtly spiced and citrus-laden finish. It's a crowdpleaser.
