From Mullineux’s own Roundstone vineyard on Kasteelberg Mountain, where shallow schist soils produce small berries of great concentration, this is a Syrah of remarkable grace and complexity. Aromatics of black pepper, wild herbs, fennel seed and liquorice lead into a palate layered with black plum, dark hedgerow fruit and savoury spice. There is a fine balance between floral perfume, richness and freshness, while supple tannins build seamlessly through the palate, carrying the wine to a long, poised finish. Extremely impressive.

From the iron-rich Koffieklip soils of the rolling hills around Malmesbury, this is a Syrah of deep fragrance, power and impressive refinement. Aromatics of black pepper, violets and smoky spice lead into a palate of dark berry fruit, black plum and savoury olive notes. The tannins are round and generous, giving the wine a broad, textured feel, while fresh acidity and a subtle mineral edge bring balance and lift. Complex, layered and persistent, this is a compelling expression of Swartland Syrah.

From the Jakkalsfontein vineyard, planted in the late 1980s on granite-rich soils, this is a Syrah of purity, energy and impressive structure. Peppery and intensely aromatic, there are notes of black olive, violets and crushed granite, while the palate shows dark black cherry fruit, hints of grilled meat and a savoury edge of wild herbs. There is remarkable focus and freshness throughout, with nervy acidity carrying the wine to a long, spicy finish.

This parcel, situated on the rolling hills outside of Malmesbury on distinctive Koffieklip soils, consistently produces fruit of remarkable concentration and energy. The wine opens with notes of flint and white pepper, alongside bright yellow orchard fruits, fresh orange peel and a subtle salty hint of ocean spray. The palate is crystalline and tightly wound, balancing intensity with precision, and unfolds with beautiful layers of fruit, mineral freshness and impressive natural extract.

Coming from the Mullineux estate’s own schist vineyard on the Paardeberg, the vines produce small, concentrated berries that bring impressive intensity and structure to the wine. There are notes of ginger, white pepper and orange peel, opening onto a palate of stone fruit and tangerine peel with a fine, chalky texture. There is a sense of focus and density throughout, underpinned by bright freshness and a hint of lemon balm on the finish.

The grapes for this are predominantly estate owned, with 42% coming from Kumeu, 32% from Ray’s Road and 26% bought in from long term trusted growers. This is vinified in 38% old barrels, and the rest in stainless steel giving a bright zesty wine, fresh pear, orange peel and orchard fruit. A little peach and custard note, this is fresh, fun and lively.

The 2025 vintage was excellent with warm dry conditions throughout the growing season. The Chardonnay it produced is rich and concentrated and up there with the best Estate Chardonnay we have seen in the past ten years. Beautifully fragrant and toasty on the nose the palate is rich and peachy with the hallmark refreshing acidity we expect in the Estate Chardonnay. Layered and complex this wine is quite delicious now but will no doubt benefit from bottle age as have its predecessors.

A beautifully composed expression of Margaret River Cabernet, combining remarkable purity with depth, finesse and structural precision. It opens with lifted aromatics of blackcurrant, fresh mulberry and rose petal, layered with subtle mocha, graphite and finely integrated oak. Beneath the vibrant dark-fruit core lies a poised, energetic palate, where cassis, blue and black forest fruits unfold with impressive clarity. Crowned as Halliday Wine Companion’s 2027 Red Wine of the Year, and Cabernet Sauvignon of the Year, with an outstanding 98-point score.
