Product Notes

Hailing from South Africa's Swartland region, the Mullineux Schist Syrah is an exceptional wine with an enchanting complexity. Its bouquet unfurls an alluring medley of dark fruit, underlying earthiness, and hints of black pepper spice. The palate is gratifyingly round on the tongue, revealing profound depth with every sip. The Schist Syrah's impressive acidity and fine, silky tannic structure result in a wine of extraordinary longevity. Its character is undeniably inspired by the unique schist soils of its vineyard origins. This is a robust, intricately layered Syrah that, we daresay, stands amongst the finest. An exquisite revelation of Swartland's potential.
