Merchant's description

Est. delivery in Autumn, 2026 Porseleinberg is one of South Africa’s most distinctive wines and has quickly earned cult status. It’s made from 100% Syrah grown on a rugged hillside in the Swartland, where the soils are dominated by blue schist (the “porcelain mountain”). The site is exposed and low-yielding, giving grapes of remarkable intensity and character. It's made in small quantities by Callie Louw, who farms and vinifies with a no-nonsense, low-intervention approach. Each release is bottled in its distinctive hand-printed paper label, a nod to its artisanal character.
