113 Mullineux Syrah 2009 750ml 6 (1 x 6) R3 500 – 4 500 PROVENANCE Wine Cellar ITEM NOTES Established in 2007 by the dynamic husband-and-wife team, Chris and Andrea Mullineux have, in a very short space of time, established Mullineux Family Wines as one of South Africa’s most celebrated producers. Their track record speaks for itself: Awarded Wine Enthusiast’s International Winemaker of the Year in 2016, Tim Atkin’s SA Winemakers of the Year in 2017 and three times Platter’s Winery of the Year (2014, 2016 and 2019). This Syrah is sourced from six different vineyards in an attempt to represent the different terroirs of the Swartland. ‘Eagerly awaited 2009 rises to expectations, showing healthy ripeness of vintage. Typically understated, but enigmatic & complex. As was 2008, a fine expression of artisanal winemaking, showing Swartland’s great potential.’ Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 5 stars
