"Simply world class" schreibt Tim Atkin über den 2018er 'Porseleinberg'. Konsequenterweise gibt er ihm 100 Punkte! Der Swartland-Syrah mit dem ikonischen Etikett hat damit den Gipfel des Möglichen erreicht und gehört zu den größten Syrah der Welt.
Toujours gardé en cave à vin à 12°
Remise en main propre à Preveyrenges (entre Lausanne et Morges). Vin unique et quasi introuvable dans le monde...
Tim Atkins:
"In the right hands, great sites produce great wines. Since its inception in 2010, Porseleinberg has been one of the Cape's most exciting reds, but nothing quite prepared me for the transcendent brilliance of this wine. Influenced by some time at Domaine Jamet in Côte Rôtie - particularly their use of submerged cap during fermentation - Callie Louw has made a stunning Syrah, proving his skills as both farmer and a winemaker. In 2018, the style has shifted, away from power and grip to something more scented and refined. Focused, nuanced and very delicately oaked, with raspberry and wild strawberry bruit, clove and white pepper spice and textured tannins. Simply world class."
Platters 5*
Style unchanged, wholebunch fermented with submerged cap, 2018 created in large oak (80%) & concrete 'egg'. Syrah from a special site, oldest vines, giving distinctive wild berry tones, mineral earthiness & lithe succulence. Styled for decade-plus ageing."
