Mullineux Syrah, Swartland 2021
Mullineux is among the top producers in South Africa’s Swartland region, and this delicious Syrah is a fantastic introduction to the estate’s style. They practice low-intervention farming and winemaking to produce wines of incredible concentration and purity. This heady, complex Syrah is packed full of flavour, with crisp red berries and violets combining beautifully with spicy black pepper and earthy olive notes. Full-bodied and intense, this is rich and smooth with an elegant finish. Very much a Syrah in the classic Northern-Rhône style, this would be a wonderful accompaniment to grilled meats or hearty stews. It is currently on the menu at Philglas & Swiggot Marylebone, so why not pop in for a glass?

Ataraxia Chardonnay Hemel-en-Aarde 2022
What I love most about Ataraxia is that winemaker Kevin Grant has an approach to wine-making that isboth minimalist and non-interventionist. Through this, he reflects a sense of place and expression of his terroir. He barrel-ferments his wine completely and through this his chardonnay shows itself to be old-world in style, whilst balancing subtlety and intensity. The flavours displayed in this fantastic chardonnay include tropical fruits, peach, and vanilla. These reasons show why it is a firm staff favourite here at Philglas & Swiggot!

Mullineux Old Vine White Swartland 2022
This absolute banger of a wine from Mullineux is absolute proof that a natural ferment/low intervention white can be both fulsome and utterly elegant. Based on 73% Chenin Blanc (a grape South Africa has made its own to such an extent it rather eclipses chenins from the Loire), it’s heady with peaches and nectarines, but bright with a racy acidity to balance out the full body and richness. Swoonsome stuff.
