/100

Lobenberg: Handlese aus Bioanbau, Ganztraubenpresse mit kurzer Maischestandzeit, Korbpresse, Spontanvergärung, Malo im Holz, Ein Jahr Ausbau in gebrauchtem kleinen und großen Holz, unfiltriert gefüllt. Was für eine verblüffend eigenständige Nase: Bisquit, Renecloden, Apfel, reife Quitte, hochreife Ananas, Rhabarber... Charme, Druck, Gewürze (Lebkuchen!), Wucht aber kein Fett. Wow! Im Mund Nüsse, Walnuss, geröstete Mandeln und Paranuss, Rosinen, Honig, wieder die gelben Pflaumen mit Quitte, gelbe Aprikosen, Litschi, Thymian und Rosmarin. Dazu ein ganz kleiner Sherryton und feine Frische. Die leicht ölige Cremigkeit der Viognier dominiert leicht. Witziger Stoff, mag ich! 93+/100

Galloni über: Mullineux White Blend Old Wines

-- Galloni: The 2015 Old Vines White is the first addition of Grenache Blanc from Piekenierskloof. It has a very fine bouquet with honeysuckle, beeswax, grilled walnut and just a very subtle flor note. The palate is medium-bodied with a sense of delicacy that previous vintages do not convey. The acidity is pitch perfect with tempting notes of orange rind, lemongrass and stem ginger, fanning out with a sense of confidence on the finish. This is just a beautiful wine. Tasted at the Old Vine White Blend vertical in London. 93/100

Wine Enthusiast über: Mullineux White Blend Old Wines

-- Wine Enthusiast: This Chenin Blanc-based blend, with 12% Clairette, 6% Viognier, 4% Grenache Blanc and 4% Sémillon, opens with medium-intense aromas of apple skin, melon rind, honeysuckle, strawberry hull and orange pith. The full, medium-weight palate boasts ample acidity to complement the rich beeswax, orange oil and pressed flower tones, with a softly pithy texture that lends structure and length to the enduring finish. It's drinkable now, but should benefit from some additional maturity 92/100

Parker über: Mullineux White Blend Old Wines

-- Parker: The 2015 Old Vines White is predominantly Chenin Blanc complemented by the usual other varieties and Grenache Blanc for the first time this vintage, planted around five or six years ago. It has a well-defined bouquet with scents of grilled walnut and candle wax, a touch of oyster shell just in the background. The palate is rounded on the entry with crisp acidity, smooth and harmonious with hints of walnut, white pepper and a dash of lemongrass towards the finish. It needs just a little more tension on the second half, but there is commendable weight and concentration to suggest that it will age with style. 90/100
