Information about "Mullineux Schist Syrah 2023"
The Mullineux Schist Syrah captivates with alluring aromas of black pepper, dark fruits, violets, and an embrace of warm spices such as nutmeg. On the palate, it reveals an immensely rich and robust character, underscored by silky tannins that provide excellent structure along with a beautifully balanced and natural acidity. The finish is fresh, lingering, and smooth, leaving no desire unmet in this exceptional Syrah. A true masterpiece!
The grapes for the Schist Syrah are sourced from a single vineyard block where the 17-year-old vines thrive on the stony schist soils of the Kasteelberg. This unique plot expresses the terroir of Kasteelberg with remarkable density and structure.
These wines, derived from a single terroir, convey a sense of place in its purest form. Proudly, the name of the estate is displayed on every label, honoring each producer.
Die Gärung began mit natürlicher / wilder Hefe und dauerte etwa zehn Tage. Weitere vier Wochen Hautkontakt und 12 Monate Reifung in 500L Fässer ( 25% Neuholz) gefolgt von neun Monaten in zweitbefüllten Foudres.
