Reyneke Biodynamic Sauvignon Blanc 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R330
‘Pale and restrained, but certainly not lacking in concentration or complexity, this is a Sauvignon Blanc for people who don't really like the grape. Sourced from five parcels before fermentation in older wood, it has meadow and hedgerow aromas, lots of stony grip, mouth-watering acidity and some passion fruit sweetness. 2022-25’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 93/100
‘The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Biodynamic is mostly whole bunch pressed, naturally settled and racked into barrel (300-litre) staying on the gross lees for eight months before blending, after which SO2 is added. This has a knockout nose, very precise with green apple, freshly sliced pear, lemon verbena and a slight sea spray scent. The palate is well balanced with a bright opening, fresh and saline with a taut and quite linear finish. This comes highly recommended. 2022-2030’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 91/100
‘This vibrant Sauvignon blanc bursts with notes of lime and green guava on the nose with additional hints of blackcurrant leaf and flint. The palate shows a lovely brightness with distinct notes of fresh lime and lemon pith ending with some leesy complexity to balance out the acidity.’ – 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. |
