About this Item

2011 Syrah
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Established in 2007 by the dynamic husband-and-wife team, Chris and Andrea Mullineux have, in a very short space of time, established Mullineux as one of South Africa’s most celebrated producers. Their track record speaks for itself: Awarded Wine Enthusiast’s International Winemaker of the Year in 2016, Tim Atkin’s SA Winemakers of the Year in 2017 and Five times Platter's Winery of the Year (2014, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2023).

This Syrah is sourced from six different vineyards in an attempt to represent the different terroirs of the Swartland.

Notes

Critics Ratings

'A combination of soil types and vineyards, reveals a bouquet of flavours, although a tad less intense than 2010. Nonetheless retains understated elegance and streamlined balance for savouring over the next decade.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2014, 4.5 stars   'Deep ruby. Leathery nose and very convincing. Then black pepper in spades. And a hint of liquorice. This is like a Syrah from Central Casting! Definitely dry and made for drinking with food… Admirable!' – Jancis Robinson, 17/20
