TIM ATKIN 99 POINTS - "Given its consistently outstanding quality, it’s easy to forget that the average age of Porseleinberg’s 14 hectares of vineyards is only seven years’ old. Showing what Callie Louw calls a “”little more crunch”” in 2021, this is a Syrah with time on its side. Wild herb aromas of sage, oregano and rosemary introduce you to a palate that’s dense yet refined, with lots of whole bunch spice and structure, negligible oak influence, detailed, layered tannins, some underlying grip and layers of dark berry fruit. One ofthe world’s great reds from a very special site. 2025-32."

JAMES SUCKLING 97 POINTS - "#1 TOP 100 WINES OF SOUTH AFRICA What an intense nose of charcuterie, grilled herbs, iron, black berry fruit and cracked pepper. Flavor explosion on the palate, too, with a full body, yet so much freshness with an underlying iron and peppercorn character. Firm, yet fine tannins. Even better from 2025."
