Mullineux Iron Syrah 2019 is a full-bodied single-vineyard Syrah produced in the Swartland region of South Africa. Mullineux Wines is one of the stand-out producers in the Swartland region. The Iron Syrah comes from a single plot of dryfarmed Syrah bush vines planted on the iron-rich `koffieklip` soils west of Malmesbury. This terroir produces broad, full-bodied red wines. The 2019 Iron was fermented with whole bunches, then aged for 12 months in 500-litre French oak barrels (50% new), followed by 10 months in a second-fill foudre and a further nine months in bottle. Producer note. "The 2019 Iron Syrah is brimming with flavours of wild blueberry and dark plum that lead, into hints of tomato leaf, aromatic allspice and a floral complexity. The fullbodied meatiness of this wine, has a freshness and long finish that intertwines with its fine grain tannins. The Iron Syrah with its natural extract, deep perfume and round mid-palate, is always the most open and attractive of the three single soil Syrahs in its youth."

Beginning with a floral grip, the 2019 Iron Syrah offers a seductive nose filled with red flowers, wild raspberry and dusty cherry as elegant spice tones waft from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine has a fine mineral tension and firm, rocky tannins that lift the mid-palate. As the tannins loosen, the wine uncoils in the mouth, leading to a food-friendly and delightfully fragranced finish. This was made with 100% whole-cluster Syrah, and the wine rested for one year in 50% new French oak. It`s delicious! 3,300 bottles produced. - Anthony Mueller

The 2019 Syrah Iron is a little tighter and more backward on the nose compared to the Schist and Granite, revealing more of a marine influence with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with good structure, a little more savory in style than the aforementioned cuvées and maybe not quite as cohesive on the finish. I might broach this sooner than the others based on this showing.

Savoury – good maturity here. Very fine tannin, long and a great example of how good this quality level is at Mullineux. No hurry to drink. (AWH)
