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.

This perfumed Chenin, with a vibrant minerality, is from a very special old vineyard (Eikelaan) planted in the decomposed Granite soils high up on the slopes of the Paardeberg. Upfront aromas of yellow citrus blossom, summer fynbos and hints of green tea. This leads to a gorgeous pithy/minerality driven mid-palate and the ever-present vibrancy that this Single Terroir Chenin Blancs are known for. As to be expected from its reflective Granitic soils, this wine will boast a slow and extended linear progression as it ages and will provide the most drinking pleasure if decanted.

From a Paardeberg vineyard. Matured for 10 months in older 225-litre barrels. Citrus, peach, and a hint of ginger and spice on the nose. The palate is rich and flavourful with dense fruit, tangy acidity and a savoury finish. Generous and less vertical than some vintages.

In 1984 Neil Ellis sourced grapes from vineyards not of his own and produced wine in rented cellar space. These grapes were sourced in the Stellenbosch district and meant a lot of nosing around the restrictive quota system prevalent at the time.

Today, the experience and knowledge of the past are applied to modern techniques and technologies for a new generation of winemaking. “Our vision remains to make distinctive, refined wines that are expressive of their terrain and rank amongst South Africa’s finest. A pursuit of quality, nothing less” - Neil Ellis.

Showcasing the collective strength of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon, this award-winning wine highlights the noble variety through a multi-vineyard blend. It pays tribute to the culture-rich town of Stellenbosch, whose reputation for innovation, originality, resourcefulness, and creativity lies at the heart of its winemaking

Deep in colour, this wine opens with a restrained yet expressive nose of blackberry, liquorice, and subtle cedar. The palate is tight and fresh, supported by fine, dense tannins that lend both structure and longevity. Built for aging, it will nonetheless show well in its youth with a bit of decanting.

About the Winery

Neil Ellis

Neil Ellis is regarded as one of the leading figures in the South African wine industry. Beginning in the early 1980s as a pioneering négociant, he sought out distinctive vineyard parcels to craft exceptional wines under his own label. Over time, this vision evolved into a respected family-run estate with both local and international acclaim for its elegance, balance, and quality.

Today, the story of Neil Ellis Wines extends beyond its founder. After four decades devoted to winemaking, the next chapter sees Neil’s son Warren sharing responsibilities as winemaker and viticulturist, continuing the commitment to excellence. His youngest son, Charl, leads the financial team, while his daughter, Margot, serves as brand manager, ensuring the family legacy carries forward with the same dedication and integrity.

Wine Advocate

92 Points - Anthony Mueller

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch opens with fresh, red fruit notes and a dusty, round profile enhanced by succulent tannins and balanced acidity. Medium to full-bodied, this wine has robust pencil lead flavours and a food-friendly finish. This well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon captures the essence of its Stellenbosch roots, delivering both complexity and refined drinkability.
