Intensity and finesse define the 2020 Boekenhoutskloof Porseleinberg Syrah, with vivid red and black berries layered over cracked pepper, dried flowers, scrubby herbs and a touch of earthy leather. The palate is taut yet refined, its silky but persistent tannins carrying a long, savoury finish that feels particularly graceful for such a warm, dry vintage. This is a structured, ageworthy Syrah that still delivers impressive perfume and purity even in its youth.
Chargrilled lamb chops with rosemary, Duck breast with black cherry reduction, Aubergine and smoked mushroom stew
Porseleinberg Syrah is a singular, whole-bunch Swartland red from Boekenhoutskloof’s windswept Porseleinberg farm, where Callie Louw crafts a single, uncompromising cuvée from steep blue‑schist and shale slopes. Fermented with natural yeasts and raised mostly in large foudres and concrete to mute oak influence, it marries piercing dark fruit and cracked black pepper with a stony, almost Côte‑Rôtie‑like finesse, making it one of South Africa’s most characterful and sought‑after Syrahs.
