Rest of World
One of the best things about wine is its limitless nature. Even professionals with 30 years under their belt come across new regions and new varietals all the time – it is the passion/hobby/profession that just keeps on giving. If you have not yet experienced the elegance of new wave South African wines, the sweet nectar that is Tokaji from Hungary, the precise and terroir driven German Rieslings with unrivalled drinkability, the wild and sometimes bloody reds of Portugal, or any other of the beauties found off the beaten track, you are in for a treat. Wine can transport oneself to another place and time just by popping the cork, and there is a whole world full to discover.

Tim Atkin MW (96)Now that Porseleinberg has changed in style, the Mullineux's Iron Syrah can adopt the mantle of the Cornas taste alike of the Swartland. Tannic and intense, it's a wild, dense, blood and guts style wine with lots of whole bunch intensity and a ferrous finish. |

Wine Advocate (95)The Leeu Passant 2022 Wellington Cinsault comes from a 0.8-hectare vineyard on decomposed granite soils. Cinsault was the hero grape in South Africa with an important winemaking tradition. These ancient vines were planted at the very start of the 1900s. It took Andrea Mullineux years to get this unruly vineyard in shape. There are as many as 30 or 40 different rootstocks, so much so that Entav (the French national repository of grapevine clones) came to take samples. "We wanted to find the oldest vineyard in South Africa," she says. This wine is not made under the family Mullineux brand (dedicated to Swartland wines) because these grapes are from Wellington. It shows a delicately perfumed quality that is neither reductive nor carbonic but is spicy and vertical nonetheless. The bouquet opens to wild rose, crème de cassis, cranberry and blue flower. It ages in 500-liter barrel for two years. This is a very special expression and one of the best Cinsaults you will encounter in your world wine travels. This grape, made by these deft hands, is reason enough to fall in love with South African wine. |

Wine Advocate (93)This is a blend of old-vine Chenin Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Semillon Gris. The Mullineux 2023 Swartland Old Vines White gives you a taste of South African winemaking excellence at a very interesting price. The vines are planted on granite soils with a beautiful layer of clay five meters down "that acts like a sponge," Andrea Mullineax tells me. This helps to concentrate and enrich flavors of preserved lemon, saffron and pastry cream filling. With each variety coming to ripeness at a different time, the grapes are whole-bunch pressed and not co-fermented. The Chenin Blanc, from dry-land bush vines, plays an important role in determining the lasting texture of the wine. It matures in foudre and some barrique, with 10% new oak. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (97)The 2015 Syrah Schist has a wonderful, nuanced, complex bouquet that I would happily place in any lineup of top Syrahs from the Rhône. So nuanced, so mineral and delineated, this just blossoms in the glass. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine tannins, judiciously spiced with white pepper and sage. Highly complex, terroir-driven and delicious, this is a Syrah that delivers on all fronts at 10 years of age. It easily surpasses the bottle drunk just after bottling. World. Class. Syrah. Tasted blind at the 10-Year-On horizontal in London. |

Tim Atkin MW (95)The Schist Syrah is sourced from the extensive Roundstone property and, like its stablemates Granite and Iron, is fermented with whole bunches and aged in one third-new oak. Rich, savoury and concentrated, but with considerable underlying finesse, rose petal notes and refreshing, palate-cleansing acidity. 2021-30 |

Tim Atkin MW (97)My pick of the three top Mullineux Syrahs in 2018, this world-class red is the most perfumed and alluring of the trio right now. Combining fruit from the Kasteelberg and Roundstone, this has violet and lavender aromas, some sap and grip from 100% whole bunches, incredible focus and grip and a plush, seductive mid palate. |
