The estate
Mullineux & Leeu Family Wines is a celebrated partnership producing world-class wines from the Swartland and Franschhoek regions. Their tasting room at Leeu Estates offers an exclusive, terroir-focused experience showcasing their acclaimed portfolios.
Founded by Chris and Andrea Mullineux in 2007, the estate has earned international acclaim, including multiple 'Winery of the Year' awards from Platter’s Guide. While their Mullineux range focuses on the unique Swartland terroir, their Leeu Passant range is crafted at their dedicated winery on Leeu Estates in Franschhoek. The estate offers a sophisticated tasting experience that highlights their meticulous, minimalist winemaking approach. Visitors can explore a diverse selection of wines sourced from some of South Africa's most exceptional vineyard sites.
