About this Item

Critics Ratings
'Second, more 'masculine' sibling of 2010 terroir twins is bolder, richer, but retains beguiling floral fragrance, with a touch more muscle on the supple body. Hints of fruitcake & tobacco, same silky texture.' Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 5*
'A very ambitious red from Chris and Andrea Mullineux, which sets a new benmark for Cape Syrah. Produced in small quantities, but this is well worth tracking down: a dense, muscular red with notes of smoke, blackberry and liquorice, structured tannins, aromatic spices, a hint of fresh tobacco and an elegant, refreshing aftertaste. One of the New World's great Syrahs. Drink 2016-25' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2013, 96/100.
