Mullineux Syrah 2019

Cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving.

Andrea and Chris Mullineux are the Swartland’s power winemaking couple thanks to the impressive success of their winery which was founded in 2007. In total they’ve racked up over thirty 5-star ratings from Platter’s South African Wine Guide and Andrea has also been named Wine Enthusiast’s International Winemaker of the Year in 2016.

The pair have earned a cult following and rave reviews thanks to their delicious Syrah and Chenin Blanc wines. Fruit is carefully selected from their partner growers as well as their own vineyards on Roundstone Farm near the iconic Kasteelberg mountain.

Bursting with luscious cassis, blackberries and dark plums, this intense Syrah is ideal for anyone who loves big, bold red wines. Fruit is sourced from prime vineyards planted on shale, schist and granite soils which helps create a well-structured and powerful wine. Once in the winery the fruit is fermented with indigenous yeasts and the young wine then aged in French oak barrels for 11 months. It is bottled without fining or filtering to preserve the natural character of the grapes and terroir. Ideal for enjoying alongside hearty meat dishes or cellaring for a few more years if desired.
