Reyneke Reserve Red 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R795
'Like the Reserve White, this red counterpart will be blended with Reyneke's Biodynamic Syrah from 2022 onwards rather than sold as a stand-alone wine. Intense aromas of white pepper, sage and mountain herbs are complemented by spice and structure from 60% whole clusters, blackberry and tapenade flavours, fine, dusty tannins, subtle 30% new wood and impressive vivacity and vinous intensity. Superb. 2025-35' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 97/100
'This Syrah boasts a captivating blend of white pepper, black cherries, and crushed coriander on the nose, with subtle hints of licorice, lavender, and marjoram. The palate reveals a delightful savouriness, showcasing pure fruit freshness at its. core. The fine, layered tannins contribute to its great concentration and density.' – 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. |
