The 2021 Porseleinberg Syrah is one of South Africa’s most acclaimed Syrah wines, crafted from the rugged schist soils of Swartland by legendary winemaker Callie Louw. Intensely perfumed and highly structured, it reveals aromas of blackberry, dark plum and wild herbs layered with cracked pepper, olive tapenade, ironstone and savoury spice.
On the palate is powerful yet remarkably refined, with concentrated dark fruit, whole-bunch complexity, fine-grained tannins and vibrant mineral freshness creating exceptional balance and length. The style is deeply savoury, elegant and Rhône-inspired, with outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a must-have for collectors and lovers of serious Syrah with structure, complexity and terroir expression. Sophisticated and age-worthy, it pairs beautifully with lamb, game meats, slow-cooked beef or fine dining cuisine. Decant if drinking young or cellar confidently for 15–20+ years.
