One of the most talked about South African wines in 2025, receiving a perfect 100 score from various critics right out the gates.
A long time favourite here, Porseleinberg's Swartland Syrahs are as welcoming as they are complex; full of perfume, power, and precision. It opens with an electric bouquet of cherries, violets, and smokey herbs, followed up on the palate with concentrated dark fruit, berries, crushed stones, peppercorn, and a good salinity in the finish. The tannins are firm yet structured, making this wine great now and perfectly positioned for ageing well into the 2040s.
This is also the last wine to be made by the iconic Callie Louw, who has been winemaker at Porseleinberg since 2009, overseeing many of the winery's most acclaimed vintages ever.

Licorice, rosewater, iron, green peppercorns, Kalamata olives, cardamom, figs and mulberries on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, savory and deliciously peppery, with firm and tightly knit tannins. I like the salty, stemmy and dark spice undertones. Long and focused. Better from 2026.
