Porseleinberg 2013
Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaOne of the Swartland Independents, Porseleinberg is a wine sourced from Porcelain Mountain, and a label produced by Marc Kent and Boekenhoutskloof. This lifted syrah is a great place to start realigning your thinking of South Africa. Organically farmed, with wild yeast and low sulphur additions, Porseleinberg is 100 percent whole bunch ("a record of the vintage, according to winemaker Callie Louw"), and seen time in concrete eggs and aged foudre. Bright and crunchy, fragrant with red berries, cracked cassis and black cherry. A vein of wild herbs is drawn across grippy, fine tannins to a textured, stony finish. Tactile and fresh (only 13.7 percent alcohol) down to the labels - printed on the farm on a 1940 Heidelberg platen letterpress.Tasted: 25 September 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| MB | $90.00 | 750ml | |
