Tasting notes
Year after year, the Schist Vineyard site gives them 20% smaller grapes than the Granite Vineyard site. The 2021 Schist Syrah is dusty and floral with elegant and powerful red and black peppercorn tones that seduce the nose. Medium-bodied, the palate reveals a fresh, herbal and savory essence that's beautifully balanced with flavors of dark cherry skin while offering a firm tannic edge. Delivering incredible mineral tension, this devastatingly gorgeous Syrah will have no trouble aging for over two decades. Bravo!

About the producer
Chris and Andrea Mullineux were at the forefront of South Africa’s new-wave movement and are now one of the country’s most established names. Alongside the Swartland project that made their name, they make wines in Franschhoek under the Leeu Passant name – a tribute to South Africa’s vinous past.
