The 2010 Porseleinberg marks an iconic vintage, setting a new standard for Swartland Syrah with its potent concentration and Rhône-inspired elegance.

This release combines whole-bunch fermentation in concrete eggs and old foudres with minimal sulphur, capturing the farm’s granitic bedrock and coastal influence. Its rarity and profound ageing potential make it a must-have for serious collectors.

Winemaking: Fermented 100% whole-bunch in concrete and foudre, then matured chiefly in old large barrels and eggs to preserve purity.

Pairing Suggestions: Ideal with herb crusted lamb or slow braised beef cheeks. Equally compelling alongside grilled portobello steaks or roasted root vegetables.

Tasting Note: Opaque plum black in colour, it opens with aromas of wood smoke, cured meats and black plum spice. The palate reveals grainy tannins, bright lemon zest acidity and a long, savoury mineral finish layered with slate and bramble.

Origin: Swartland, South Africa

Alcohol: 14.5%

Blend: Syrah

Porseleinberg

Porseleinberg stands as South Africa’s cult Syrah, a single?site marvel on the Swartland’s porcelain?like slopes where kaolin?rich soils whisper of ancient seas. Since Boekenhoutskloof acquired the farm in 2009, winemaker Callie Louw has stewarded 14?hectares of head?trained Syrah, farming organically and coaxing lithe elegance from granitic bedrock with just a whisper of topsoil. The estate’s signature white?on?white labels - each printed by Callie on a century?old letterpress - hint at the meticulous care within.

Callie’s off?beat approach marries whole?bunch fermentation in old foudres and concrete eggs with a submerged?cap technique inspired by Domaine Jamet. The result? Wines that walk the line between Rhône power and Burgundian grace, delivering approachable youthfulness alongside decades of ageing potential. Porseleinberg isn’t merely the Swartland’s standard?bearer, it’s a site?driven statement in every glass.
