'Blend of 3 soil types featured in terroir range, half the barrel time (12 months). 2017 quintessential shiraz scrub & hedgerow fruit, white pepper & charcuterie notes, limber tannins. Graceful wine now & minimum 5 years.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (94/100)
'One of my ‘go to’ wines when I see it on a restaurant wine list, this intensely perfumed Syrah comes from seven vineyards, mostly on schist soils. Made with 90% whole bunches, it has more tannin than you think at first, layers of spice, violet and blackberry fruit and a refreshing tang. Drink: 2020-25.' – Tim Atkin MW, 93/100
'Combining grapes from seven vineyards planted variously on shale, schist and granite across the Swartland, vinification involved 90% whole-bunch fermentation before maturation lasting 14 months in a combination of 225- and 500-litre barrels as well as 2000L-litre foudre, 15% new. The nose shows red fruit, cinnamon and white pepper plus a hint of fynbos while the palate is juicy and sweet-fruited with plenty of volume and surprisingly soft tannins. Alcohol is 14.5% on the label but you wouldn’t guess so and it goes down very easily.' – Christian Eedes, WineMag.co.za, 90/100

| 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. |
