The Great Heart wines are grown in vineyards managed by the Leeu Passant and Mullineux teams. Great Heart winemaker Gynore Hendricks, a graduate of the Cape Winemaker’s Guild Protégé Program, applies the attention to detail the team follows in everything they do. The result is wines with a natural intensity, complexity and a true sense of place that reflects the characteristics of the region, as well as those who live and work there. In the pursuit to find a sustainable way to realise a mechanism for equity and meaningful transformation, Chris and Andrea Mullineux’s vision came to life in creating Great Heart Wines. The company is owned by the employees of Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines and profits from sales of all Great Heart wines go directly to the staff who are the shareholders of the company.
The African Wagtail, known in South African folklore for its acts of selflessness and bravery in assisting others, has been chosen as the symbol of Great Heart Wines. The artwork was designed by celebrated local artist Jaco Sieberhagen.
Great Heart Chardonnay 2023
R378.00
Region: Stellenbosch
Tasting note:
“Very attractive notes of lemon rind, freshly cut Golden Delicious apples and melba toast invite the senses, which are further awakened by a superb minerality, racy acidity and broad brioche-like mid-palate. The wine would pair well with lighter style seafood, poultry or vegetarian pasta dishes . Best served at 10 to 12 ˚C.” – Winemaker
