2010 & 2011 Porseleinberg

BY NEAL MARTIN |

Porseleinberg leads an impressive and growing fleet of world-class Syrah/Rhône blends from South Africa. Mark Kent, founder of Boekenhoutskloof, was foraging sources for his Chocolate Block label in and around Swartland when he came across a 173-acre namesake farm in Swartland. According to writer Tim James, Jaco and Yoland Marais owned the ranch. Some of the fruit was bought by Eben Sadie as part of early vintages of his Columella. Alas, the vineyard was damaged by wildfire, and the Marais’s struggled to stay afloat, eventually selling the farm to Kent in 2009 as Swartland was becoming the byword in excellence.
