Mullineux Old Vines White 2019 is a fragrant wine that has the characteristic floral nose with notes of orange blossom, apricots, mandarins and cardamom. The richly textured palate is balanced by a fresh, vibrant, acidity and flavours reminiscent of peach, grapefruit and hints of spice. Best served at 10 to 12 °C, this wine will show optimally when decanted in the first 3 years after bottling.
