Reyneke Biodynamic Chenin Blanc 2023 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R350
'Showing a little bit of what Johan Reyneke calls the "warmth of granite", this impressive Chenin Blanc hails from two blocks, planted in 1974 and 1976. Flinty, stony and intense, it has aromas of petrichor, green tea and thatch, pear and citrus fruit, lots of racy acidity and a mouth-watering, granite-influenced finish. 2024-29' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 94/100
‘The Chenin Blanc offers a nose of quince, white pear, and lemon, complemented by subtle honeysuckle notes. On the palate, this wine is layered with notes of lemon, quince, pear, and apple pith, which is perfectly balanced with a lively acidity. The finish is textured, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.’ – Winemaker

Producer information | Reyneke is one of 5 Stellenbosch properties to get First Growth status in Tim Atkin's 2017 SA Report. Reyneke farm began in 1863 when it was then named 'Uitzicht', meaning 'view'. It is located overlooking Stellenbosch and False Bay with north, south and east facing slopes. Reyneke is certified organic and biodynamic and follows sustainable practices in everything they do. 'Their wines demonstrate the care they take, not infallible wines, rather honest and personality-driven wines that are distinctive, as much cerebral as sensory experiences,' says Neal Martin. |
