100% Syrah. Grapes for the Mullineux Syrah come from seven sustainably farmed vineyard parcels in different parts of the Swartland: four parcels planted in the stony Shale and Schist based soils of the Kasteelberg; two parcels of dry-land, bush vines grown in the decomposed Granite of the Paardeberg; and one on the rolling, iron-rich soils west of Malmesbury. Vines are aged between 20 and 27 years. 50% whole cluster fermentation and pigeage occurs once or twice a day during fermentation. Aged 14 months in French oak 225L and 500L barrels and 2000L foudre,  13.5% ABV, 

Critical Acclaim

Rated 93 Decanter Magazine.

"Love this nose – so unmistakably Syrah in its fresh juniper, Provençal herbs and floral raspberry fragrance. It’s a super-fresh, drinkable style that’s very well balanced with plenty of fluidity and no overt thickness of texture. Beautifully detailed, crisp tannic lines, and while it’s not long it’s very satisfying, with a saline kick – a spitting-image for a good St-Joseph. Aged for 14 months in various sizes of barrel, 15% new. Drinking Window 2020 - 2025"
