Porseleinberg 2021
Regular price £69.95Porseleinberg is the result of Marc Kent’s search for the best Syrah grapes, a journey
that inevitably took him to the Swartland. It was here that Kent found an isolated and
windswept wine farm perched atop the Porseleinberg mountain.
The site is now recognised as one of the greatest Syrah vineyards in the world.
Country: South Africa
Region: Swartland
ABV: 13.9%
Grape: Syrah
Organic
The 4th vintage of applying the submerged cap technique, which continues to emphasise Porseleinberg's unique tannin profile. A reserved start is noticeable, after which the wine opens to red and black fruit, with a mineral and savoury spice. A crunchy, dry and grippy, yet fine tannin soundly carries the fruit to cover ones palate. The finish is long and fresh with good fruit concentration and some salty minerality. Drink from 2031-35.

Els Vilˑlusionistes Equanim Priorat red 2019
Regular price £49.9560% Carignan, 40% Grenache from the most mature parcels with the vines averaging 60 years of age. Fermented and matured in amphora this represents a big step up in black pepper spice and grip – always a surprise in a wine that’s never seen a barrel – there is no question that this is a little young at the moment but absolutely worth squirrelling a few bottles away for a couple of years.
