Mullineux, Syrah Schist 2017
The Mullineux Syrah Schist 2017 is a standout wine from the Swartland region of South Africa, showcasing the unique terroir of its schist soils. This wine is part of Mullineux's single-terroir series, which focuses on expressing the distinct characteristics of different soil types. This medium-bodied Syrah has a structured, yet refined tannic profile. It pairs excellently with grilled or roasted meats, particularly lamb or beef, and can also complement dishes with earthy flavours like mushrooms or dishes with a smoky element.
Ridge Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Drought-breaking winter storms replenished ground-water reserves at Monte Bello. Warm, summer weather ripened grapes for an October harvest. Significant tannins showed in the earliest fermentations so they reduced the pump-overs to avoid over-extraction. For this wine they blended the lots showing softer tannins and great fruit intensity. Though approachable now, this wine will continue to develop greater complexity over the next ten years. Harvested from the Monte Bello Vineyard made from 75% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 1 % peitit verdot.
