Great Heart Wines

For some time, Mullineux founders Chris and Andrea Mullineux had been thinking how they could reward and uplift their dedicated and hardworking team. Lockdown galvanised this intent, and the idea of starting a wine brand that was collectively owned by their employees was born. The Great Heart wines are grown and produced in the Mullineux & Leeu vineyards and cellars, with the same attention to detail the team follows in everything they do, resulting in wines with a natural intensity, complexity and a true sense of place reflecting the characteristics of the region, as well as those who live and work there.

Great Heart Stellenbosch Chardonnay
The wine has a light pale straw colour and exudes white Phylica (blossom and melba toast on the nose. It awakens the palate with a superb whetstone minerality, thanks to its racy acidity and enticing flavours of fresh Granny Smith apple and candied lemon rind. This rich wine displays complexity and finesse with a broad brioche like mid palate and prickly limestone drives the focused and lingering finish.
