Experience the unmatched power and grace of the Porseleinberg Syrah 2023. This is a profound expression of a singular site. The wine comes from a rugged and dry mountain of schistous soil. The vines are organically farmed. They are also very low-yielding. This gives the grapes incredible concentration.
The winemaker, Callie Louw, uses a non-interventionist approach. The wine is fermented with a high percentage of whole bunches. It is aged in foudres and concrete. This allows the wine to reflect its unique origins. It has aromas of wild fynbos and black pepper. Dark hedgerow fruits are also present.
On the palate, it is both muscular and elegant. It shows a tightly wound core of concentrated fruit. The tannins are firm and built to age. It is a wine of immense depth and power, yet, it remains graceful. It has a distinctive, mineral-rich finish.
The Porseleinberg Syrah 2023 achieved a monumental milestone. Tim Atkin, Master of Wine, gave it a perfect 100-point score. He also named it his Overall Red Wine of the Year. This confirms it as a collectible masterpiece. It will reward patient cellaring for decades.
