The Mullineux Syrah Schist 2017 is a standout wine from the Swartland region of South Africa, showcasing the unique terroir of its schist soils. This wine is part of Mullineux's single-terroir series, which focuses on expressing the distinct characteristics of different soil types.
This medium-bodied Syrah has a structured, yet refined tannic profile. It pairs excellently with grilled or roasted meats, particularly lamb or beef, and can also complement dishes with earthy flavours like mushrooms or dishes with a smoky element.
What the critics say:
"The Schist Syrah is sourced from the extensive Roundstone property and, like its stablemates Granite and Iron, is fermented with whole bunches and aged in one third-new oak. Rich, savoury and concentrated, but with considerable underlying finesse, rose petal notes and refreshing, palate-cleansing acidity. 2021-30"
"The 2017 Schist Syrah has a much more outgoing bouquet compared to its Granite counterpart, offering ebullient dark cherry, boysenberry and Provençal herb aromas; fennel and star anise emerge with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a liberal sprinkling of cracked black pepper and a feisty, open-knit finish. Just thoroughly pleasurable."
