Tasting Notes
Crafted by renowned winemakers Chris and Andrea Mullineux, this wine embodies the unique terroir of the Swartland, highlighting their sustainable farming practices and passion for showcasing the true essence of their wines.
This perfumed Syrah has notes of spicy citrus rind, refined black fruit, violets and lilies. The palate is elegant and restrained with a silky texture balanced by a fresh, natural acidity. The finish is long with supple tannins. Best served at 16 to 18 °C, this wine will greatly benefit from decanting if drunk within the first 3 to 5 years after bottling.

Scores
94 / 100"Weighty load of granitic earth with plenty of elegant fruit. A powerful start. Very savoury on the palate with dried herbs, a la Southern Rhone garrigue and oily plump black olives covered in these herbs. The inevitable comparisons of the Old World come to mind. Is there anything like Old/New World anymore? Anyway, tannins are judicious, velvety. It’s bloody, meaty, chewy and with a cool finish. One of those wines that make a delicious statement with a few, but pure and great quality components."
