Oh baby, who’s ready for THIS?!?! I can’t be the only one who woke up this morning, checked my stocking, turned on the Christmas lights, pulled up the ol’ yule log channel, and popped a bottle of bubbles!!! Bueller? Bueller?
No matter! I’m celebrating now. MULDERBOSCH!!! One of South Africa’s most celebrated wineries, is here to make my morning that much tastier…gloriously dry, succulent, and serene CHENIN BLANC! This is the favorite son of Vouvray, given new life in the rolling hills of South Africa! Green apple, crisp pear, Meyer lemon too! Plus some sexy as-all-hell white florals of honeysuckle and jasmine, with live-giving herbs of lemon verbena, tarragon, and sage – all in a creamy, zesty bubbly that straight-up DELIVERS! A kiss of vanilla toastiness from 8 months in barrel BEFORE becoming bubbly grants this a layer of richness that most UNDER $15 bubbles just can’t match! Yeah-HOOOO! 92 POINTS!!! We’re talking only 13 American dollars, friends!

Back-up bubbly, Sunday Brunch bubbly, Birthday Bubbly – you cannot go wrong with a bottle, or two, or four set in the cooler to kickstart any party all year long!!! Simply scintillating, titillating, I-might-be-hyper-ventilating, epic bubbly!
Founded in 1989 by Larry Jacobs and Mike Dobrovic, Mulderbosch Winery in Stellenbosch, South Africa, emerged from the determination and optimism of its founders. Transforming a neglected fruit farm into a thriving vineyard, Jacobs and Dobrovic uncovered the hidden potential of the land, marked by sloping hills, valleys, and proximity to the sea. With their maiden vintage in 1992, Mulderbosch quickly earned international acclaim, establishing a reputation for excellence, creativity, and innovation.
