WINE DESCRIPTION
Mullineux Schist Syrah is a premium wine produced by Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines, a renowned South African winery. The grapes are sourced from the Swartland appellation, known for its unique terroir and old vines. The vineyards are characterized by their schist soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-sorting the grapes, wild yeast fermentation, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Syrah, with notes of black fruit, spice, and a subtle smokiness. Mullineux Schist Syrah is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality, terroir-driven wine.
