Opulent and charming nose, showing bramble, blackcurrant, fynbos and tea aromas with hints of saline and wild herbs nuances. Fleshy palate with tangy, bright acidity. Classy.

The 2019 Syrah Granite is a step up from the Schist Syrah, delivering much more intensity on the nose, where clove and black pepper notes, animal fur and a touch of autumn bonfire infuse the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, good acidity, gentle grip, and fine depth toward the finish. Spicebox, white pepper and clove abound, showing very good persistency on the finish. This is a wonderful Syrah from Chris and Andrea Mullineux.
