This wine was aged for 11 months in French oak 500L barrels. During this period, it
developed a beautiful tannin structure as well as dark perfume notes. The Syrah was
then blended and aged for an additional ten months before bottling
The Mullineux Syrah has become synonymous with its hallmark Swartland perfume of
plush blackberries, violets and black olive tapenade. With the quartz soil parcel, this wine
has an added layer of freshness combined with a complex, textured mid-palate provided
by the granite, schist and iron terroirs. The palate is rich with velvety tannins, multi
layered red fruit, citrus rind and baking spice notes on the finish.
