This vintage has not been rated yet, see previous tasting notes:
‘The 2019 Syrah Biodynamic is drop-dead gorgeous on the nose, offering blackberry, blueberry, crushed violet and light star anise aromas that blossom with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins and great depth and intensity, equaled by a finesse that leaves you wanting more on the finish. A sublime Syrah from Johan Reyneke. 2023-2043’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 95/100
‘Composed 2019 displays perfumed peppery edge to dark fruit purity. Complex making involves whole bunches, natural ferment, concrete tank, older barrels & foudres, 14 months, then 3 months in tank. Lithe & supple, with superb integration.’ – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (94/100)

| 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. |
