Tasting note:

Nerd time. The Syrah is a blend of fruit from schist, iron and granite soils across a range of Swartland vineyards. 90% of the fruit is whole bunch fermented, with maceration extended to as long as seven weeks for some batches simply because of the quality of the tannins. This gives a lovely structure and balance to the wine, with the tannins corseting the ripe and voluptuous fruit. The wine is aged in oak, 15% of which is new, for 14 months prior to bottling. If you've skipped to the end - it's a banger.

Producer:

Founded by Chris and Andrea Mullineux in 2007, this winery is now one of the most lauded in South Africa. Named ‘Winery of the Year’ four times by the Platter Guide in 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020, Mullineux were also Tim Atkin MW’s ‘South African Winemakers of the Year’ in 2016. Good going.
