The mid-ruby colour is vibrant in the glass. The nose is expansive, intense, and complex. Expect notes of hedgerow fruit, fynbos, and violets. Aromas of black pepper and Mediterranean herbs emerge gracefully. The palate is sculpted and incredibly precise in structure. Layers of plum, blackberry, and raspberry provide focused fruit power. Chalky, detailed tannins define the unique texture. Porseleinberg Syrah 2022 offers refinement from a brutal vineyard site.
This structured, complex Syrah pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes. Excellent pairings include lamb shawarma, game, or hard mature cheeses.
