The Mullineux Syrah 2021 is crafted to showcase the distinctive terroirs of Shale, Schist, and Granite, embodying the essence of its origin with a meticulous winemaking approach. This vintage is a testament to the winery’s commitment to expressing the unique character of the landscape through the noble Syrah grape.
Winemaking Process:
The production of this wine emphasizes natural methods, with approximately half of the grapes undergoing whole-bunch fermentation to enhance the wine’s complexity and texture. All fermentations proceed with indigenous yeasts, underscoring the winery’s philosophy of minimal intervention. The wine matures for 11 months in French oak barrels, of which 15% are new, allowing the wine to develop subtle oak nuances without overpowering the innate flavors of the fruit.
Tasting Notes:
The 2021 Mullineux Syrah delivers an aromatic bouquet of spicy citrus rind, refined black fruit, and floral notes including violets and lilies, which evoke the wine’s elegant profile. On the palate, it presents a restrained yet rich flavor profile with a silky texture balanced by vibrant, natural acidity. The finish is long and smooth, marked by supple tannins that suggest good aging potential.
Serving Suggestions:
To fully appreciate its depth and structure, it is recommended to serve this wine at 16 to 18 °C. Decanting is advised if enjoyed within the first few years of bottling to allow the wine to open up and reveal its full spectrum of aromas and flavors. This Syrah pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, stews, and robust vegetarian dishes like mushroom risotto.
Ageing Potential:
While the Mullineux Syrah 2021 is already approachable, it possesses the structure and balance to age gracefully. Expected to evolve and gain further complexity over the next 3 to 5 years, it could continue to develop in the bottle for many more, making it a valuable addition to any connoisseur’s collection.
This wine represents a successful endeavor to capture the true expression of its terroir, offering a sophisticated experience that resonates with the finesse and power of South African Syrah.
