Critics Ratings

'2012 is superb! Many years ahead of it, but already shows complexity in perfumed aromas and super-subtle but intense palate, with a truly rare refinement. Also rare is lack of oak influence - in concrete 'egg' for a year. Tiny yield, bunch-pressed. Bone-dry; 13.5% alcohol; big tannins also a touch dry - give them time.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 5*

'The 2012 Porseleinberg Syrah has a sublime, perfumed bouquet with raspberry preserve, cloves, touches of wild fennel and rosemary that are all very succinct. The palate is medium-bodied with supremely well judged acidity, firm grip in the mouth and plenty of raspberry and wild strawberry fruit toward the finish, inter-layered with fennel and white pepper. Great backbone here and very long length, this is another outstanding wine from one of Swartland's finest exponents.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Oct 2014)
