Andrea, an American, and Chris, a South African, met in France in 2004. In 2007 they started Mullineux Family Wine. They’ve been at the forefront of the Swartland Revolution: now based at Roundstone Farm on the Kasteelberg, they focus on Chenin Blanc and Syrah, and make some of the Cape’s most impressive, serious bottling from this stunning landscape. In 2013, they entered a partnership with Anajit Singh. And this opened up a new chapter for the couple. Up until this point, Mullineux had focussed entirely on the Swartland, as continues today. But over the years, Rosa Kruger had been suggesting parcels of vines outside the region that could be interesting. Now they had an opportunity to seek these out. The Leeu Passant wines are made in the stunning environs of Leeu Estates in Franschhoek, which is also a luxury hotel, while the Mullineux wines are still made at Roundstone. And that gives separation to the projects. Out of these two cellars are emerging some of South Africa’s most revered wines.
