The Porseleinberg Magnum 2019 is a notable red wine from South Africa`s Swartland region, produced by winemaker Callie Louw. This wine originates from a single vineyard on the Porseleinberg estate, known for its distinctive blue schist soil, which contributes to the terroir`s character. The 2019 vintage benefited from a cooler growing season, leading to fruit that embodies the unique environmental conditions of the site. Fermentation employs native yeasts, with maturation taking place in neutral oak and concrete vessels, enhancing the wine’s textural complexity and expression of place.

The 2019 Porseleinberg saw 415mm of rain, slightly more than previous years and cool growing conditions so that volumes were higher and the harvest could be conducted at a more leisurely pace, based upon tasting grapes in the vineyard. Matured for 12 months in 90% foudres and 10% concrete eggs, this has a peppery and spicy bouquet: bouquet garni, cracked black pepper and a touch of fennel. It's an absolute doppelgänger for a Côte-Rôtie. The palate is medium-bodied and broad-shouldered due perhaps to slightly higher residual sugar, with layers of black fruit laced with white pepper and clove, segueing into a more savory finish with touches of meat juice. There is captivating precision here, a brilliant Porseleinberg. Neal Martin14th November 2023
