The highly expressive bouquet is characterised by blackberry, blueberry, a hint of raspberry, crisp black pepper and just a faint hint of charcoal. This is a very cerebral Porseleinberg. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, superb structure, brooding black fruit and gentle grip, and the slate soils are very expressive on a finish that feels fresh but exceedingly complex.

Vinifikation The Porseleinberg project, named after the low-lying hill range from Riebeek Kasteel, is an extreme viticulture. With large, jagged pieces of slate protruding from the ground and only 18 inches of annual rainfall, establishing a vineyard in this windswept location was not easy, but the first signs of quality are there, and Kent is happy to have taken root. Most of the fruit from Porseleinberg is used for the Boekenhoutskloof and Chocolate Block labels, but the cream of the crop goes into the estate's own bottling. It is a Syrah fermented with stems in concrete tanks, then aged in concrete eggs and large wooden foudres, mimicking the traditional techniques of the Rhone Valley, whose wines Kent loves.
