From the rugged slopes of Swartland comes this compelling Syrah from Porseleinberg. Composed of ~85% whole bunches and ~15% destemmed fruit, the wine is fermented using a combination of submerged cap and more typical pump-overs, then matured for twelve months90% in large foudres and the rest in concrete.

Expect bright notes of hedgerow fruit, red and black berries, violets, bay leaf, and black pepper. The palate is intense yet precise, with fine, chalky tannins and mineral clarity. A wine of power and finesse, built for both immediate pleasure and long-term aging.
