The Mullineux Syrah has become synonymous with its hallmark Swartland perfume of plush blackberries, violets and black olive tapenade. The palate is rich and elegant with velvety tannins, complex red fruits and warm spicy notes on the finish. This Syrah would be best served at 16 to 18 °C and will benefit greatly from ageing.

Delicate hand-harvesting of this Syrah took place during the early mornings at each vineyard site and was then crushed 90% whole-cluster to ensure the best expression of its unique Swartland terroir. To encourage natural and gentle extraction during the indigenous fermentation, regular cap management was essential, and after four weeks, when the tannins defined what we expect from our signature Mullineux Syrah, the wine was pressed to 500L barrels. Each parcel was racked just after Spring and later bottled unfined and unfiltered.
