Tasting notes
Mullineux Schist Roundstone Syrah 2021
‘Grapes from the Mullineux’s own property. The presence of this wine is what impresses – great fruit weight, bright acidity and chalky tannins, the finish deeply savoury. A wine of great sophistication. Alc: 13.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 98/100
Mullineux Granite Jakkalsfontein Syrah 2021
‘Grapes from the Paardeberg. 100% crushed whole-bunch fermentation. Complex aromatics of red berries, potpourri, fynbos, a hint of cured meat and white pepper while the palate shows pure and concentrated fruit matched by a cracking line of acidity, the tannins super-grippy but not coarse. A precise wine with captivating tension. Alc: 13.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 97/100
Mullineux Iron Kasteelsig Syrah 2021
‘From a vineyard outside Malmesbury. 100% crushed whole-bunch fermentation. Red and black berries, earth, violets and pepper on the nose. The palate is the plushest of the three examples of Syrah – luscious fruit, moderate acidity and silky tannins. Immensely pleasing to drink. Alc: 13.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100
Mullineux Granite Eikelaan Chenin Blanc 2022
‘Grapes from a 1976 vineyard situated at 400m above sea level on the Paardeberg. Compelling aromatics of pear, peach, lime, hay and a touch of flinty reduction. The palate is seamless – great fruit definition, well integrated acidity and some pithy texture to the finish. This has a lovely vitality about it, a triumph in what is generally considered a challenging year. Alc: 12.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 97/100
Mullineux Schist Roundstone Chenin Blanc 2022
‘Grapes from the Mulleneux’s own Kasteelberg property. Yellow apple, stone fruit, orange, melon and spice on the nose. Rich and relatively broad on the palate with some phenolic grip to the finish. More exotic than its counterpart above but still essentially savoury and balanced. Alc: 13.5%.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 95/100
