About the Winery
Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines
Mullineux Family Wines, established in 2007 in the Swartland region of South Africa, is owned and managed by Chris and Andrea Mullineux. Since its inception the winery has established itself as one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine brands, both locally and internationally. Originally from Northern California, Winemaker Andrea Mullineux studied Viticulture and Oenology at UC-Davis before working in Stellenbosch and meeting Chris at a wine festival in Champagne. Chris is the Viticulturist in charge of the vineyards on their farm on Kasteelberg Mountain as well as fruit sourcing for their value Kloof Street wines.
The vineyards at Roundstone are farmed organically and are in the process of becoming Regenerative Organic certified. This involves practices like crop rotation, no-till farming, and eliminating chemical pesticides and fertilizers. These methods help rehabilitate soil, promote animal welfare, and improve farmers' livelihoods while sequestering carbon and producing healthier yields. In the winery, no additives are used aside from minimal sulfur dioxide, and all operations are IPW certified, following environmental best practices. Waste, including grape skins and lees, is recycled or repurposed, and cellar effluent is processed through an eco-friendly wetland system.

72.4% Chenin Blanc, 6.4% Semillon, 6.3% Clairette Blanche, 6.3% Grenache Blanc, 6.2% Viognier and 2.4% Verdelho. Matured for 11 months in older 500-litre barrels and one 2000-litre foudre. Alc: 13.4%. The nose is still rather primary with top notes of floral perfume, hay, herbs and spice before white peach while the palate is pure and zesty with a pithy finish. That much lighter and more restrained than 2021.

An aromatic, full-bodied white with aromas of mangoes, papayas, honeysuckle, grilled herbs and beeswax. Textural and lightly oily, with a fresh minerality on the finish. From vines up to 70-years-old, predominantly chenin blanc (around 75%), with viognier, clairette blanche, semillon gris, grenache blanc and verdelho

Inviting aromas of grapefruit, flint, peach fuzz, wet stone and dried herbs. Medium-bodied with tight structure. Linear and driven with lovely mineral and fresh character. Crystalline. Complex and persistent. Already a pleasure but this will really show its potential with time. Sustainable. Drink or hold.

Showing mango stone and baked apple notes with hints of juniper spice and lemon cream. Grapefruit, too. Full-bodied, phenolic and broadly textured, with excellent flavour concentration. Comes back together at the end with a stony restraint. Drink or hold.

Displaying a softer nose with a dusty and ripe fruit condition, the 2022 Schist Chenin Blanc displays a more approachable expression with aromas of waxy apples and a broad, open accessibility. Medium-bodied, the palate is abroad and ready for action, showing succulent acidity with notes of juicy peaches and Honeycrisp apple before concluding with a ripe, succulent finish. Enjoy with food.Displaying a softer nose with a dusty and ripe fruit condition, the 2022 Schist Chenin Blanc displays a more approachable expression with aromas of waxy apples and a broad, open accessibility.
