Producer Information

Mullineux Wines is a notable South African wine producer located in the Swartland, best known for its extensive portfolio of terroir-expressive Syrah and Chenin Blanc wines from the region's granite, schist, and iron-based soils. Founders and winemakers Chris and Andrea Mullineux have taken a natural approach to winemaking since the winery's establishment in 2007. In addition to the vineyards on their property (Roundstone Farm, see photo) they work with growers who approach farming with sustainable and natural methods. In addition to Syrah and Chenin Blanc Mullineux's vineyards are planted to Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Viognier. Mullineux wines are vinified with a minimalist approach. Aside from a small amount of sulfur, nothing is added to or removed from Mullineux's wines. Grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts and macerated around four to six weeks before being pressed directly to barrel. All wines go through malolactic fermentation and mature in French oak barrels. When ready, they are bottled unfined and unfiltered. The Mullineux portfolio includes the Single Terroir Range, the Mullineux Signature Range, and Kloof Street—an accessible, early drinking label with a Chenin Blanc and Rhone-style red blend. Mullineux excels at its single vineyard expressions of Syrah and Chenin Blanc, but also produces a sweet straw-wine made from dried, barrel-fermented Chenin Blanc.
