Porseleinberg is the result of Marc Kent’s search for the best Syrah grapes, a journeythat inevitably took him to the Swartland. It was here that Kent found an isolated andwindswept wine farm perched atop the Porseleinberg mountain.The site is now recognised as one of the greatest Syrah vineyards in the world.

The 4th vintage of applying the submerged cap technique, which continues to emphasise Porseleinberg’s unique tannin profile. A reserved start is noticeable, after which the wine opens to red and black fruit, with a mineral and savoury spice. A crunchy, dry and grippy, yet fine tannin soundly carries the fruit to cover ones palate. The finish is long and fresh with good fruit concentration and some salty minerality. Drink from 2031-35.
