Porseleinberg
The name is derived from the Swartland's Porselein (Porcelain) mountains Boekenhoutskloof acquired the farm in 2009 and is managing a major planting programme based on organic even biodynamic principles. Most of the grapes are delivered to Boekenhoutskloof but winemaker Callie Louw crafts one exquisite wine from the older vines.
Description
"Has any brand in South Africa achieved quite so much as Porseleinberg in less than a decade? This is the best vintage yet from this steep, brutal, extreme schist-rich site and that's saying a good deal. Big, bold and intense, with incredible, almost feral intensity, incense, tar and black pepper aromas and layers of inky dark fruit. A stunning wine from a stunning site, made by a gem of a winemaker. 2022-35." Tim Atkin
Food Pairing
Lamb Shawarma or Gyros, brined and grilled eggplant.
