Description
The lesser known (almost) twin of Porseleinberg – 80%+ of the grapes here are grown by Callie Loux on the famed farm, with the balance coming from next door at Goldmine (another fine source itself). If you were to classify Syrah vineyards in the Cape, these two would be at the very top of the list. Winemaker Gottfried Mocke applies a gentle hand in the cellar, with 60% whole cluster retained adding a delicious smoky bacon note to the soft, black fruit. Silky tannins with just a little bite at the end and lots of soft, spicy fruit. If you’re not lucky enough to be on the allocation list for Porseleinberg, dive in here! This is a Syrah of the highest order.

Critics reviews
So completely different from the Franschhoek Syrah. Much more red-fruited. This is beautiful, pure dark-red fruit, so fresh, with layers of paper-fine tannins. More of a northern Rhône style with elegance and length and yet shows the richness and fruit sweetness of a warmer region and the structure that characterises wines from these vines.
