WINE DESCRIPTION

The grapes are sourced from a single vineyard in the Swartland appellation, known for its unique granite soils that impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-sorting the grapes, wild yeast fermentation, and aging in French oak barrels for around 11 months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Syrah with intense aromas of black fruit, spice, and earthy notes. On the palate, it is rich and complex, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Mullineux Granite Syrah is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality, terroir-driven wine.
