Porseleinberg Syrah 2022
‘Produced in the teeth of what Callie Louw calls a “crazy year”, with lots of winter rain and one of the hottest Januaries ever, this is the latest in a series of world-class Syrahs from the brilliant Callie Louw. Fermented and aged in foudres and 15% concrete, using the submerged cap technique that has transformed the style here, this has 95% whole bunches, fynbos and Mediterranean herb aromas, sculpted, detailed tannins and layers of plum, blackberry and raspberry and impressive freshness for a wine with a pH of 4.1. A refined wine from a brutal site. 2025-40’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 99/100

Porseleinberg Syrah 2022
Vineyards
Porseleinberg, Swartland
Winemaking and Maturation
Porseleinberg is home to a groundbreaking Cape Syrah that exemplifies the essence of terroir-driven, authentic wine. The extremely rugged and dry schistous mountain doesn’t invite easy viticulture, but of course, extreme terroir produces extreme wine! The ever-humble and hospitable Callie Louw is the farmer, winemaker and custodian of this special vineyard. At home on his John Deere tractor, Callie produces a profound and frankly delicious wine. Callie also makes his own labels using an old-school letterpress printing machine which he is always happy to show off to visitors.
Tasting Notes
Mid ruby colour in the glass, the nose is expansive and intense, unfurling with notes of hedgerow fruit, black pepper, bay leaf and violets. The palate is bright with summer fruits and precise in structure. There is the expected power of fruit yet it is more focused and less heavy than in previous years.
