Please join us for a tasting of the wines of Mullineux Family Wines and their Kloof Street wines led by owner winemaker Andrea Mullineux.

She and her husband, Chris, are at the forefront of the negotiant movement in Swartland, a wine growing area located one hour from Stellenbosch. Both Chris and Andrea have worked extensively at vineyards in the South of France. Their maiden vintage was 2008. Grapes are purchased from as many as 23 different sustainable, and mostly organic, vineyards in the region.

 We encourage you to visit their website at: www.mullineuxwines.com, and in particular: mullineuxwines.com/press for Robert Parker’s comments about their efforts and ratings he has assigned to the four wines we will be tasting on the evening of the 29th of February.

The wines that we will taste on the 29th very much reflect the experience that Andrea and Chris garnered in Southern France, combined with the excellent soil and growing conditions of Swartland:
