Mullineux Description

Mullineux is a highly focused family winery based near the village of Riebeek Kasteel, in the Swartland region of South Africa. Mullineux produces a select range of hand-crafted wines from the granite and shale based soils of the area.

Mullineux was established in 2007, when Chris and Andrea Mullineux settled in the Swartland wine region, 60 kilometers north of Cape Town. Within a very short time period the winery established itself as one of South Africa’s most celebrated wine brands, both locally and on the international front. By 2020 the winery had received thirty 5-star ratings from Platter’s South African Wine Guide, as well as being awarded Platter’s Winery of the Year an unprecedented 4 times in 2014, 2016, 2019 and 2020.

Grapes for Granite Chenin were sourced from a 45 year old sustainably and dry farmed bush vine vineyard named Eikelaan, planted in the decomposed granite soils of the Paardeberg. This is the highest altitude granite soil vineyard and with the very deep decomposed granite soils tends to produce wines with great acidity and a flinty, stony aromatic profile.
