Best Winery – Platter’s Guide 2023
'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. 2024-32' – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 96/100
‘Each syrah has its own soil-derived personality. 2020 from clay- & gravel-rich iron soils around Malmesbury more complex than 2019 (4.5 stars, 93 pts). Richly spiced plum, cured meat, wild hedgerow fruit & herbs, with a tealeaf fragrance. Richly layered texture & dusty tannins show its pedigree, revealing more on every sip. Ageworthy.’ – Platter’s Guide, 5*(95/100)

| 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. |
