About this Item
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.
The 2018 vintage was one of winemaker, Callie Louw’s career highs. This is the magnum of the 2018 vintage that achieved a perfect 100 point score from Tim Atkin in his 2020 wine report on South Africa. One of only 4 wines ever to have achieved this. Produced in the Swartland region of South Africa which specializes in making rich, fruit-driven wines, this vintage is exceptional in every way. Filled with ripe, rich fruit and a plethora of spices, the Porseleinberg 2018 Magnum has also not been sold in South Africa and a limited number of magnum bottles were produced.
