Licorice, rosewater, iron, green peppercorns, Kalamata olives, cardamom, figs and mulberries on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, savory and deliciously peppery, with firm and tightly knit tannins. I like the salty, stemmy and dark spice undertones. Long and focused.
The 2023 Porseleinberg was made by Callie Louw, although it was announced that he will depart after the 2025 vintage for a new venture. See my producer profile for details. This vintage utilised 100% whole bunch and is raised for 12 months in 90% Stockinger 2,500-litre foudre and 10% concrete egg. It has an outstanding nose with fragrant raspberry, wild strawberry, rooibos and light bay leaf scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled tannins, a dash of cracked black pepper intermixed with Five Spice and used tea leaves. Quite feisty yet focused on the finish, this is a wonderful Porseleinberg that will benefit from several years in bottle, as usual.
