'The best release yet of a Roundstone Syrah, reflecting the increasing age of a parcel planted 23 years ago, this is hauntingly perfumed and vibrant, with aromas and a structure that is the Côte Rôtie to Granite's Hermitage. Violet, rose petal and subtle spice aromas lead into a palate that's elegant, polished, detailed and refined, with ageing in foudres and 500 litre oak and whole cluster fermentation. Close to Syrah heaven. 2024-32' – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Special Report 2022, 98/100

'While a higher skin to juice ratio offers a denser, broodier tannic complexity, this wine is always very suave and plush, generous and alluring with complex layers of delicious black berry fruits. The aromatics show hints of lavender and violets, blueberry and black cherries, sweet grilled herbs and fynbos spice and a subtle black olive tapenade nuance. On the palate there is plenty of fleshy weight and texture with a balancing acid freshness and natural fruit concentration boasting vermouth spices, salty nori seaweed, blood oranges and an opulent, rich, meaty finish. A lot of premium wines have sex appeal and allure, it’s just that the Schist Syrah really knows how to flaunt it. A wine that is appealing to drink on release but will age gracefully for 15 to 20+ years.' – Greg Sherwood MW, 96+/100

‘Dense, intense & brooding blackberry, cherry, dried herbs & coriander on a suave tannin base, 2020 from vines planted in 1999 on home-farm. Characterful & plush, with unflagging savoury notes on the dry finish. Terrific potential. Also in 1.5L, as all these.’ – 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.
