Porseleinberg & Smokkelman

Porseleinberg

If you are an avid lover of fine South African wine then you will know about Porseleinberg! Produced from a unique block of Syrah grown on the slopes of the Porseleinberg in the Swartland it has become a sought after wine by collectors the world over. The farm is owned by the Boekenhoutskloof Winery and is consistently highly rated by the British Master of Wine, Tim Atkin as one of South Africa’s finest wines.

“We pick the vintage,” says winemaker Callie Louw, whose 2020 Porseleinberg is the second lightest in alcohol he’s ever made at 13.6%. Fermented with 100% whole bunches using the submerged cap technique that transformed the wine in 2018, this is another scented, seamless stunner from Callie. Aged in large foudres and with 5% in concrete eggs, it’s a spicy, sappy, hauntingly elegant Syrah from a brutal site. According to Tim Atkin (MW) the wine offers “kelp, rose petal and fynbos aromas, juicy bramble and red berry fruit, fine tannins and a wonderful sense of energy.”

Smokkelman

Jozua Joubert, born and raised on the family vineyard farm Karibib, studied winemaking and later traveled the world doing as many harvests in as many areas as possible. He returned to South Africa for a job as winemaker in 2003 and was eager to show what he had learned abroad. However in 2010 his life changed suddenly when his Dad passed and he had to take over the responsibilities of the family farm. It took him three years to return to his main passion of winemaking
Smokkelman was born from necessity during the last two years. They are two quintessential South African blends; Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault for the red and Chenin Blanc and Semillon for the white. Great wine, great value!
