Product information "Mullineux Schist Syrah 2023"
The Mullineux Schist Syrah exudes seductive aromas of black pepper, dark fruit and warm spices. On the palate it is exceptionally full-bodied and full-bodied with a fleshy, tart character. Its silky tannins give the wine excellent structure and a well-balanced and natural acidity. In the finish fresh, long lasting and smooth, this Syrah leaves nothing to be desired. A masterpiece from a Syrah!
The grapes for the Schist Syrah come from a single vine block on which the 17-year-old vines grow on stony slate soil of the Kasteelberg. This vine block expresses the terroir of the Kasteelberg in the best way, with stunning density and structure.

After the harvest, the grapes were cooled and crushed by foot in open oak barrels in the traditional way. Fermentation took place after 4 days and lasted about 10 days. After another 4 days on the skins, the grapes were pressed and put into barrels for malolactic fermentation. At the end of the 23-month ageing period in French oak, the wine spent another 10 months in the bottle before being released for consumption.
