About this Item
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.

Critics Ratings
'Eagerly awaited 2009 rises to expectations, showing healthy ripeness of vintage. Typically understated, but enigmatic & complex. As was 2008, a fine expression of artisanal winemaking, showing Swartland’s great potential.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 5*
The 2009 Mullineux is still rather primary and powerful with broad shoulders, dark fruit and meaty edges. It shows olive tapenade and blackberries with rich tannins and serious length. It is set to age another decade. - 93 points Roland Peens (2019)
