A true classic, this is a spicy Syrah with notes of violets, iris, bramble fruit. There is a seamless feel to the fruit coating the detailed, and sinewy tannin ending with a beautiful peppery lift.

From the Eikerlan vineyard on the Paardeberg, one of the highest altitude spots here, this is a Chenin with spiced notes of ginger, fennel seed, and fresh white peach and white grapefruit. A gentle bitter lemon note adds intrigue with a breath of sea air on the finish.

Coming from the Mullineux’s own vineyard on the Paardeberg, the vines yield small, intense berries which bring real intensity to the wine. Highlighted by fresh quince, white peach and hints of lime, the nose of this Chenin Blanc is difficult to resist, and it follows through with a firm chalky texture and a lively, focused finish.

This parcel, situated on the rolling hills outside of Malmesbury with Koffieklip soils enjoys cool nights and mild days during the growing season. Notable yellow orchard summer fruits, fresh orange peel and a slight flintiness welcome one on the nose, with a multi-layered palate and slightly saline finish that round off this beautifully textural wine.

Quite simply a brilliant Cabernet from Christo Le Riche, following marvellously from the 2020. More tightly wound than the 2020, this has superb direction on the palate, a sense of drive and focus. Ripe, supple cassis fruit, cocoa and sandalwood with a little pepper and wild herb spice. The palate shows the compact, fine grained tannin structure that means this will be a superbly long-lived Cabernet. Excellent.

From Jakkalsfontein farm, this Syrah offers a delicate floral nose of violets, juniper, cherry blossom. This follow through with red berry compote on the palate and a stony minerality on the finish.

A classic schist Syrah that is not dissimilar to the best of Côte Rôtie. The aromas show hints of bergamot orange, fresh iris and violets and nutmeg spice. The palate is so harmonious and seamless with finely etched tannins clothed in vibrant hedgerow fruit. A stunner this vintage.

Always the more dense of the three single vineyard Syrahs, the wine brims with flavours of dark plum, wild blueberry and hints of tomato leaf and charcuterie. Supple, chalky tannins add structure, and the finish is extremely long and detailed.

As always, a truly benchmark Stellenbosch Cabernet giving note of coffee bean, cocoa nib and blue and black berry fruit. The tannins are sinewy but coated in ripe plum fruit with accents of wild herbs and violets on the finish.
