Mullineux 'Kloof Street' Rouge, Swartland, 2023 Catherine Marshall eight months in sherry casksAnother stunner from the Swartland, this time from husband and wife team Chris and Andrea Mullineux. A Syrah based blend which will seduce lovers of Northern Rhone. Medium to full in style but with well judged alcohol levels at 13% there is delicious juicy red plum and strawberry fruit balanced with some pepper, well integrated tannins and hints of stone.
