Porseleinberg Syrah

Porseleinberg Syrah is a remarkable South African red wine that beautifully embodies the complexity, depth and vibrancy of the Syrah grape variety. This wine is produced on the slopes of Porseleinberg in the Swartland region, known for its unique terroir and special wine-growing conditions.

When poured, the Porseleinberg Syrah reveals a deep, almost opaque purple color that suggests intensity and concentration. The aroma is expressive and inviting, with a bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries, violets and black pepper, mixed with subtle notes of smoked meat, graphite and a touch of spiciness. These aromas promise a powerful and intriguing taste experience.

At the first sip, the Porseleinberg Syrah enchants your palate with its full and lush texture. The wine has a powerful structure and excellent depth, with ripe tannins that are beautifully integrated with the complexity of the fruit. The palette is enriched with flavors of black cherries, blueberries, dark chocolate and a hint of black olives, leading to a long and impressive finish.

Wine - Food pairing

Porseleinberg Syrah is a wine that goes well with hearty dishes. It goes perfectly with grilled red meat, game stews or spicy lamb dishes. This wine is also a wonderful companion for an evening by the fireplace, where it can reveal its deep and complex flavors. Whether you are having a casual dinner with friends or celebrating a special occasion, the Porseleinberg Syrah will elevate any occasion with its outstanding character, strength and depth.

Boekenhoutskloof

Boekenhoutskloof Wine Estate is a renowned winery located in the Franschhoek Valley of South Africa. The estate is known for its exceptional quality wines and is considered one of the leading wine producers in the country. Boekenhoutskloof, despite its somewhat unusual African name for the 'French' Franschhoek, was founded three centuries ago by French Huguenots.

The winery was founded in 1776 and is located on a historic estate called Boekenhoutskloof, hence the name of the winery. The estate includes vineyards spread across diverse microclimates, contributing to the diversity and complexity of their wines.

Current winemaker Marc Kent also still has a thing for France. He visits at least once a year to gain new inspiration in the northern Rhône, Cornas. At home in Franschhoek he has made a name for himself with great wines such as Boekenhoutskloof Semillon, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, all of which are among the absolute top in South Africa. But Kent has more strings to his bow. In addition to these showpieces, which are only produced in small quantities, he also makes extremely attractive wines under the names Porcupine Ridge and The Wolftrap that are available to a wider audience. At a slightly higher level, this certainly includes The Chocolate Block.
