Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines Benchmark of South African wine making

Visit Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines:
The new Benchmark of South African winemaking in the splendid Franschhoek valley

The story of Mullineux & Leeu Family wines has its basis in Love and passion. The passion for wine making shared by Chris and Andrea Mullineux in far-flung wine regions of France, California and South Africa, led to a love that left its mark on South African wine making since 2007. In 2013 they started a new collaboration with Analjit Singh, creating one of the finest family wine ventures in the South African wine industry.
This wine producer proves that winemaking is passion and art you can savour

A little about Mullineux and Leeu Family Wines

You may taste the incredible wines of the amazing winemaking duo of Chris and Andrea Mullineux in the Mullineux and Leeu Family Wines Franschhoek cellar, the vines, however, have their home in distant wine regions.

The Mullineux vines have their home on the Roundstone farm in the shale and granite soils of the agriculturally challenging, yet beautiful Swartland wine region. The soils chosen yield exceptionally smooth Chenin Blanc and profoundly structured Syrah. The terroir-specific range comprises a Chenin blend, Syrah and sweet Chenin wines. Exceptional years also produce some smaller batches of parcel-specific ultra-premium wines based on Chenin and Syrah.

The Leeu Passant wines have multi-regional origins in historical (often the oldest) vines in the Wellington, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek wine regions. With these exceptional vines, the Mullineux duo produce the most extraordinary wines ever made in South Africa. This range specifically pays homage to the outstanding classic Cape winemaking styles.

Regardless of whether you follow foreign or local wine critics, this wine farm consistently draws accolades for the best wines, as well as the best wine producer in South Africa.
