Porseleinberg Swartland Syrah 750 ML

A wild, earthy character, with the florals continuing, lots of tannin, a lovely mouthfeel, juicy but with an authenticity and touch of roughening edges that finishes spicy and long.

Producer Information
The revolutionary Porseleinberg project is the result of South African icon Marc Kent’s search for premium Rhône grapes for his Boekenhoutskloof and Chocolate Block labels. The journey naturally took him to the Swartland, which at the time was emerging as a premium South African wine region. Kent found a remote, rugged, and windswept 173-acre wine farm atop the Porseleinberg mountain and purchased the property in 2009. Recognizing the enormous potential of the area, and after replanting the vineyards, he decided to create a premium Swartland Syrah from the choice fruit. Under winemaker and viticulturist Callie Louw’s careful eye only the most premium Syrah from the organically farmed vineyard is used in Porseleinberg’s single iconic wine.
