    Medium-bodied wines with more structure and a mouth-feel similar to whole milk

    2020 Mullineux Swartland Syrah (Swartland, SA) 5R

    The Mullineux Syrah is renowned for its signature Swartland aromas of ripe blackberries, violets, and savory black olive tapenade. On the palate, it offers a luxurious yet refined texture with smooth tannins, layered red fruit flavors, and a lingering warm spice finish. While enjoyable now, this Syrah will improve significantly with age.

    About The Varietal

    Syrah

    Shiraz and Syrah are interchangeable names for the same dark-skinned grape variety when viewed in terms of DNA. Originating in the Rhône Valley, this grape dominates plantings in the northern section of the valley. The name Shiraz is commonly used in Australia and certain regions of the New World, particularly those with warmer climates. The stylistic differences between Shiraz and Syrah wines are often distinct, contributing to the enduring dual identities of this grape variety.

Their dedication to quality, as well as their strong commitment to the environment and their team, has earned them both national and international recognition.
