Boekenhoutskloof Porseleinberg Swartland Syrah 2016 Groot Constantia This is one of those

This is one of those very rare wines that so beautifully straddles the pinnacles of hedonic and the cerebral experiences

Although immediately engaging

We have been lucky enough to acquire this full 12 bottle case and on inspection a number of the bottles have unfortunately either suffered leakage or water soilage to labels

Boekenhoutskloof Porseleinberg Swartland Syrah 2016 Groot Constantia This is one of thoseThe Porseleinberg Estate in Swartland owned by the famous Boekenhoutskloof wine brand. 100% whole bunch fermented, two months in concrete eggs and foudre. There is something flinty and slaty about the nose, a wild, earthy character, with the florals continuing, lots of tannin, a bit of rustic grip, but such a lovely mouthfeel, juicy but with an authenticity and touch of roughening edges that finishes spicy and long.
