'The 2020 Iron Syrah is firm with a youthful grip and offers aromas of crushed red berries as explosive florals erupt from the glass. This is instantly the champion of the soil series range this year. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is electric in the mouth and jumps to life as it excites the palate with precision, complexity and finesse. It explodes with beauty and balance and continues to reveal its secrets over the long, lingering, ever-evolving finish. Absolutely stellar!' - Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, 97/100
'Always served last of the trio of soil-specific Syrahs from the Mullineux, Iron is the most shuttered, dense and backward wine, or, if you prefer, the most Cornas-like. Compact, chewy and made to age, but there's a lot of charm below the tannic carapace. Ferrous and dark, with damson and black fig intensity.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 96/100

| Producer information | At the cutting-edge of SA fine wine, the Mullineuxs have received many ground-breaking awards and, since 2007, have focused their Swartland efforts on Syrah and Chenin Blanc. Their extensive knowledge of Swartland soils, and what Andrea calls a 'growing technical maturity', has consistently led to the release of some of the most definitive expressions of the Swartand's various terroirs. With over a decade of dedication to winemaking in the Swartland, and considering the consistency and track record across their various bottlings, Chris and Andrea Mullineux are one of SA's top producers. |
