Mullineux Single Terroir, Schist, Syrah, 6x75cl

🍷 Mullineux – Single Terroir ‘Schist’ Syrah
South Africa | Swartland | 100% Syrah
Style: Still Red Wine | Winemaking: Hand-harvested from a single vineyard rooted in decomposed schist soils, naturally fermented with wild yeasts, followed by ageing in seasoned French oak barrels to preserve purity, structure, and terroir-driven character
Farming: From sustainably farmed, low-yielding vines in the rugged Swartland region, where intense sunlight and mineral-rich soils yield Syrah of depth, tension, and powerful expression

🪨 A bold, mineral Syrah—dark, structured, and uncompromisingly expressive.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with purple hues—intense and brooding.

👃 On the Nose:
Concentrated and complex. Aromas of black plum, blackberry, and blueberry are layered with notes of crushed rock, graphite, cracked pepper, and savoury herbs.

👅 On the Palate:
Powerful and precise. A core of dark fruit is wrapped in firm, grippy tannins, with a broad yet focused mouthfeel. Schist minerality runs through the wine, giving definition and drive to the long, fresh, and supple finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with grilled ribeye, slow-cooked lamb, wild mushroom dishes, or aged gouda. A Syrah for bold flavours and thoughtful pairings.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Impressive now with decanting, and capable of evolving gracefully over 12–15+ years, gaining nuance and savoury complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Mullineux ‘Schist’ Syrah is the powerhouse of the Single Terroir range—structured, deep, and brimming with mineral energy. A Syrah of intensity and precision, grounded in the wild soul of the Swartland.
