2022 Syrah, Mullineux, Swartland Dry | Red | Still

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.

2023 Granite Chenin Blanc, Mullineux Dry | White | Still | 14%

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.

Ready: 2024 - 2040
2023 Schist Chenin Blanc, Mullineux Dry | White | Still | 14%

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.

Ready: 2024 - 2040
2023 Iron Chenin Blanc, Mullineux, Swartland Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

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.

Ready: 2024 - 2040
2021 Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Dry | Red | Still | 14.5%

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.

Ready: 2024 - 2050

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.
