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
"Produced in the teeth of what Callie Louw calls a "crazy year", with lots of winter rain and one of the hottest Januaries ever, this is the latest in a series of world-class Syrahs from the brilliant Callie Louw. Fermented and aged in foudres and 15% concrete, using the submerged cap technique that has transformed the style here, this has 95% whole bunches, fynbos and Mediterranean herb aromas, sculpted, detailed tannins and layers of plum, blackberry and raspberry and impressive freshness for a wine with a pH of 4.1. A refined wine from a brutal site. 2025-40" – Tim Atkin South Africa Report 2024 • Winemaker of the Year 2024, Callie Louw of Porseleinberg • Red Wine of the Year 2024, Porseleinberg Syrah 2022
