2021 Schist Syrah, Mullineux, Swartland

So much perfume on this, from their own Roundstone farm. There’s a lot of herbal complexity, as well as ripe black cherries, and a meatiness. This is classic Schist Syrah: so complex and with a ton of definition.

Tasting notes

This dryland vineyard on the Mullineux' Roundstone property is one of the world's great Syrah sites, yielding tiny bunches of concentrated grapes. Intensely perfumed and alluring, the resulting wine has notes of lavender and wild thyme, fine, granular tannins and layers of red berries, liquorice and sweet kitchen spices. 2025-32
