2020 Mullineux, Granite Syrah, Swartland, South Africa

Description

Bursting from the glass with bright, sweet red fruit, the 2020 Granite Syrah is fresh and floral with an instantly pleasing aromatic nose. Medium to full-bodied and subtly spiced, the palate offers flavors of crunchy red fruit with hints of potpourri that sway with elegance and finesse. The wine reveals a nimble brightness to the mid-palate, showing purity with youthful, gripping tannins. The Syrah concludes with a gracefully elegant finish that brings me back for more.

Drink 2023 - 2039

Critics reviews

James Suckling 94/100
A lovely nose of red cherries, black licorice and dried rosemary. Medium- to full-bodied with fine, textured tannins. Lovely grip on the palate with an array of red and blue fruit. Layered and expressive with steady intensity and a persistent finish. Tense now. Best after 2024james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (December 2022)

The 2020 Syrah Granite, which usually has a slightly lower pH, has a beautiful bouquet with red fruit, light terracotta, dried violet scents, and a hint of Earl Grey in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, cohesive and impressive weight, tightly packed towards the finish with a pinch of white pepper and sage on the aftertaste. Give this two or three years in the bottle.Drink 2024 - 2040Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (September 2022)

About this wine

Swartland

Swartland

After Stellenbosch, the west coast district of Swartland (25 miles north of Cape Town, between the towns of Malmesbury and Piketberg) now ranks as the Cape's most exciting wine district. Its ancient geology has brought a mix of shale, arenite sandstone and granite soils air-conditioned by the Atlantic Ocean nearby. Chenin Blanc and Shiraz seem to do best, as exemplified by Eben Sadie and Mullineux.
