Mullineux Schist Syrah 2020

The SCHIST Syrah is grown on our Roundstone Estate in the Swartland, home of Mullineux.  Planted in 2000, we have been working intimately with this vineyard since 2005 and it is the reason that we purchased the property.   The structured SCHIST soils make for structured, broader tannins and create the darkest perfume of all our single soil Syrahs, with phenomenal aging potential.

This is the most structured Syrah in our Single Terroir range. On the nose there are notes of black pepper, black fruit and spices. The palate is full-bodied with a meaty, savoury character, plenty silky tannins giving structure and a balancing natural acidity. The finish is fresh, long and supple. Winemaker’s Notes
