"Porseleinberg is one of those wines where the analytical numbers don't make sense, as it has a pH of 4.06 but retains remarkable freshness and acidity, partly from the 100% whole bunch fermentation. Aged in large Stockinger foudres and 10% concrete eggs, it’s a denser wine than the 2023 release, with stony intensity, aromas of clove, fennel and tomato leaf, blackberry and North African spice flavours and seductive tannins. One of the New World’s greatest Syrahs. 2028-40" – 98 points, Tim Atkin South Africa Report 2026

On the palate
Blackberry leads into clove, fennel, tomato leaf and North African spice, with a stony, savoury intensity underneath. Dense fruit is balanced by remarkable freshness and firm, chalky tannins, finishing long and focused. For drinkers who like serious Syrah with dark fruit, spice and plenty of structure.
