About this Item

2012 Syrah
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Under Marc Kent’s guidance, Boekenhoutskloof purchased a small piece of land just past Riebeek-Kasteel in the Swartland back in 2009 and placed winemaker Callie Louw in charge. This Swartland site is fast gaining recognition as one of those special places to farm and produce Syrah. Showing complete dedication, Callie Louw and the Boekenhoutskloof team produce one wine from this address. The vineyards, located on extremely dry and schistous mountains, have been in Callie’s care since the get-go and he only produces a single-vineyard Cape Syrah under the Porseleinberg name.

Winemakers personal tasting note:

'Fresh red fruit and floral notes lead the nose with spice and green tobacco on the end. Softer more elegant tannin and minerality dominate the palate with a tight fresh finish. The wine was made for aging so should show best after 5-10 years and further cellaring would be recommended. Decanting is recommended when drunk young.' - Callie Louw
