A pioneering woman in wine, Andrea Mullineux, and her husband, Chris, keep raking in the accolades and are some of South Africa’s most sought-after rock stars in the wine world. They’ve been the Platter Winery of the Year twice in four years; Andrea was the Wine Enthusiast International Winemaker of the Year 2016 and is a member of the prestigious Cape Winemakers Guild (CWG) plus they were awarded the highest score ever from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate for a South African wine and MW, Tim Atkin, sees them as one of South Africa’s “First Growths”.
Based in Riebeek Kasteel in the Swartland their second venture, Leeu Passant, is based in Franschhoek exploring vineyards more far afield including South Africa’s oldest red wine producing blocks. Once a year, they release tiny quantities of their Mullineux SIngle Terroir wines - Chenin Blanc and Syrah made on unique, ancient soils.
We’ll explore the latest Single Terroir releases, taste some older vintages and later in the evening give you an opportunity to taste their Leeu Passant and Californian Fog Monster wines.
A seated, tutored tasting will be followed by a harvest table dinner and the opportunity to taste additional wines. To book email zane@grapeslave.com.
