An impeccably wrought Syrah that summons the austere elegance of Swartland’s schist soils, the 2010 Mullineux Schist Syrah unfolds with a restrained perfume of red and black berries, savory herb and mineral notes, layered in dense structure yet poised refinement. The wine’s body speaks with masculine clarity from its shale‑rich terroir, offering bold black fruit underpinned by fine tannic architecture.
