Husband and wife winemaker team, Chris and Andrea Mullineux, set out with a shared vision to create authentic Swartland wines that reflect the distinct terroir of the region while embracing reasoned, sustainable farming practices and modern minimalist winemaking. Their commitment to quality and their deep respect for the environment and their employees have earned them acclaim both nationally and internationally, and has led to Mullineux being awarded South African Winery of the Year an unprecedented five times by the highly respected Platter’s Guide.

The Iron Syrah is from the organically farmed Kasteelsig vineyard planted on iron-rich Koffieklip soils. It produces a wine that is rich and round, brimming with flavours of dark plum, wild blueberry and hints of tomato leaf. The full-bodied mid-palate shows distinct cured meaty flavours and gravely but plush tannins that are a true testament of its natural extract. Expect long ageing potential from this hearty expression or decant when young.

Press Reviews

Vinous

95 Points - Neal Martin

The 2021 Iron Syrah probably has the most nuanced bouquet - very cohesive with intense blackberry, blueberry, and white pepper scents, the most backward of the three single vineyard sites. The palate is medium bodied with finely chiseled and a keen thread of acidity, but real structure and density, layers of mineral rich black fruit fruit laced with black pepper and graphite towards the finish. Superb. 

Wine Advocate

94 Points - Anthony Mueller

Bursting with a fresh and juicy nose, the 2021 Iron Syrah is ripe with red-fruited elements of dark cherry and spiced red plum before showing a delicate, rocky essence that sways with notes of turned earth and red peppercorn. Medium to full-bodied, the palate clamps down with firm tannins that grow across the gum line and will need some time but still serve as a testament that this beautiful Syrah has plenty of life left to give. Nicely done!
