2017 Granite Syrah, Mullineux, Swartland

2017 Granite Syrah, Mullineux, Swartland

A vineyard next door to Adi’s farm on the Paardeberg. 90% WB. Lovely drive on the palate, with amazing tannin, and verve. Plenty of energy on the palate, and a cool and fresh finish. Very nice texture, and white pepper. Really good spice and floral, dried aniseed.

Tasting notes

Generally shown first in a line-up of the Mullineux's three soil specific Syrahs, this is firm, dense and entirely whole bunch fermented with damson and blackberry fruit, sappy tannins, one-third new oak and notes of black tea, lavender and Mediterranean spices. Needs time.
