Porseleinberg 2023 is a Swartland Syrah grown on the extreme schist outcrops of the Riebeeksrivier farm utilising 100% whole-bunch fermentation and ageing in foudres. The 2023 vintage in the Western Cape was characterized by a cooler and wetter lead-up to harvest which enhanced the wine`s peppery aromatics and reinforced its vertical iron-like mineral tension. In magnum the reductive power of Callie Louw`s winemaking is further amplified and the wine displays an intense savoury core of black olives and crushed stones with a rigorous tannic grip.

The 2023 Porseleinberg was made by Callie Louw, although it was announced that he will depart after the 2025 vintage for a new venture. See my producer profile for details. This vintage utilised 100% whole bunch and is raised for 12 months in 90% Stockinger 2,500-litre foudre and 10% concrete egg. It has an outstanding nose with fragrant raspberry, wild strawberry, rooibos and light bay leaf scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins, a dash of cracked black pepper intermixed with Five Spice and used tea leaves. Quite feisty yet focused on the finish, this is a wonderful Porseleinberg that will benefit from several years in bottle, as usual. Neal Martin2nd October 2025
